Exhibition by Madrid-based artists Consuelo Chacón and Patricia Mateo, and fellow Madrilenian artist José Luis López Moral.

This multidisciplinary project—spanning photography, painting, video, installation, and sound—delves into the world of meigas (Galician witches), botanical heritage, and Galician tradition through art, experience, and nature. It explores the realm of legends and superstitions, and the popular wisdom that has built such strong foundations in the unique culture of our land.

Through in-depth research and extensive fieldwork across the Galician landscape, tracing threads of tradition and memory, Chacón, Mateo, and López Moral present works of painting, photography, and installation that immerse us in magical worlds filled with symbolism and ambiguity—dreamlike, illusory atmospheres that drift between the real and the fictional. They celebrate the value of ancestral knowledge and nature as the deep roots of Galician cultural identity, highlighting the role of "witches" and the stories woven at the margins of systemic discourse. Always aiming to engage and situate the audience in a symbiotic state of questioning, wonder, and fascination—so that, in the search for answers, they may only glimpse questions, where perhaps, they might find themselves.

Curated by Paula Cabaleiro.
