WOS Festival x SON Estrella Galicia returns to Santiago de Compostela from 11–13 September, transforming the city into an immersive journey through sound and contemporary creation.
Activities
The CGAC's Activities and Pedagogical Department develops its programme with a primary goal: to bring art to society through the rigorous analysis of critical issues inherent in contemporary artistic activity.
Film seasons and conferences, workshops, seminars and concerts, make up the centre’s fundamental offer of activities, aiming to involve a wide range of audiences from the professional sector of the world of art and culture to an increasingly larger group of artists and fine art and history students, not to mention all those interested in the evolution of art and aesthetic reflection.
At the same time, the CGAC develops specific programmes for schools and colleges as well as guided tours, with the purpose of providing the various groups who come to the museum with the necessary tools to understand contemporary art and, from there, the world we live in.

Through movement, improvisation and collective creation, in this eight-session dance laboratory we’ll question the ways we inhabit everyday spaces: public buildings, squares, streets, walls, and forgotten corners of the city. We’ll explore the spaces designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira in the CGAC and other forms of urban architecture.

Bringing together a distinguished group of artists from Galicia and across Spain, this programme offers an open, critical and diverse exploration of the multiple expressions and trajectories of contemporary performance art. The selected works share a profound desire to explore the body, voice, language, memory and everyday life as spaces for thought and experience.

The Royal Galician Academy of Fine Arts is dedicating the 2026 Galician Arts Day to José Suárez (Allariz, 1902), Galicia’s most international photographer.

I met Misha approximately a decade ago and was able to have a very meaningful conversation with him. I admire both his work and his attitude, the superhuman depth of his research and his intuitive sense of the world.

CGAC presents this new writing laboratory, which will run over four months in fortnightly sessions.
