Plataforma. Performing Arts Festival was created with one purpose in mind: to enrich and enhance the cultural power of Santiago de Compostela in all its diversity. Since the festival was launched in 2020, this goal has been achieved in each successive edition, creating real communication experiences between the public and the city through art.

This course offers a pictorial journey from the emergence of the avant-garde artistic movements in the early 20th century to the appearance of postmodernism in the nineteen-seventies. A period that marked a radical transformation in terms of how photography was understood.

The goal of International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness among visitors about the importance of museums as a platform for exchange, cultural enrichment, collaboration, mutual understanding and peace among peoples. IDM is held around 18 May with the participation of 158 countries and territories from all over the world.

We’re back for another year with our workshops for families! A project in which aunts, nephews, nieces, grandparents, granddaughters, parents, siblings... can be introduced to the world of contemporary art by exploring each stage of the creative process through the work of different artists.

This programme, designed with primary school children in mind, aims to bring contemporary music to a children’s audience and arouse the curiosity of the next generations with regard to the art of our time.

These workshops accompany the exhibition Mar Caldas. Women, Work and Memory. Through weekly gatherings throughout March and April, our goal is to reflect on the thematic axes of the exhibition from a feminist perspective.

Film and fashion have always and often surprisingly co-existed and interacted with each other from their very beginnings. As far back as 1931, Coco Chanel declared: ‘It is through cinema that fashion can be imposed today.’ Films, therefore, have not only served to create fashion trends and icons, but also to allow us to explore, at any given time, ideas such as modernity, gender stereotypes or sex appeal.

A photograph of someone with whom we share an emotional bond is always bound to raise questions…In this workshop, we will be working with family photographs, looking at them carefully, recapturing their context, scrutinising the details, concentrating on what is there as well as what is not. We will look beyond the image in close detail, looking at the back, the margins, the creases, the folds or the inscriptions.
