Palabra e Memoria
The exhibition incorporates the photographic work of the graphic journalist Pepa Losada, with the support of María Mon and Aida López, to reflect the presence of Galician on tombstones, an area where the language remained absent for centuries. This documentation seeks to promote the use of Galician to express in a personal and heartfelt way the emotions of remembrance towards deceased loved ones.
The project has the collaboration of the Xunta de Galicia, the Diputación de A Coruña, the Diputación de Lugo and the Concello de Santiago de Compostela.

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.
