KOLAM. Unha arte efémera de mulleres no sur da India
The exhibition was developed from Claudia Silva's travels to Tamil Nadu from 2012 to the present. This project is part of her audiovisual research on oral tradition practices in different cultures and their relationship with art and science. Walking through the streets is a regular activity.
The surprise of seeing beautiful designs on the ground is an amazing experience, even more so when discovering that they are made with rice flour. The making of these designs called kolam is part of women's cultural traditions and practices in Tamil Nadu, South India,’ says the artist.

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.
