Con Galiza sempre no horizonte
Curated by Xosé Ramón Fandiño Veiga and Gloria López López, the exhibition Con Galiza sempre no horizonte. Camilo Díaz Baliño e Isaac Díaz Pardo en Compostela reviews, with graphic and documentary information, the vital and artistic activity of the 16 years that father and son lived in Santiago (1920-1936): the casa da Tumbona, scenography, graphic and editorial design, artistic events of the Town Hall, posters of the Statute of Autonomy and, as a testimony of the barbarity of the Civil War, the portraits that Camilo made of his fellow prisoners in the Falcona. The second part, which occupies the old chapel of the College, is dedicated exclusively to offering a vision of the artistic, industrial and cultural activity of Isaac Díaz Pardo since he was forced to leave his hometown.
