NEW IMAGINARIES. Days of reflection on image

Over the course of three days, Miguel Ángel Delgado proposes a reflection on a selection of works by Galician filmmakers and artists who, through their practices and experimentation at the intersection of film and the museum, have opened up new imaginaries with which to discover and question reality. A reality that is sometimes complex and convulsive and will be approached by Alberto Ruiz de Samaniego, Xisela Franco, Jaime Pena and Marta Ramos-Yzquierdo in a series of encounters in which the themes already raised by the artists in the exhibition New Imaginaries will be explored in depth: from the issue of the representation of horror and violence to the relationship between myth and image and the experimentation of a mythical or transhistorical time.
