A memoria do deserto
This exhibition of photographs by Saleta Rosón takes us to two abandoned cities: a colonial one called Kolmanskop, built by the Germans in 1908 in the Namib Desert (Namibia) to house diamond mine workers. The other is Al Madam, a town built between the 1970s and 1980s in the interior of the Emirate of Sharjah (United Arab Emirates), just 60 kilometres from the city of Dubai.

The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
