Sempre Máis. Arte, ecoloxía e protesta na Galiza do Prestige
Sempre Máis. Arte, ecoloxía e protesta na Galiza do Prestige' (Art, ecology and protest in Galicia at the time of the Prestige), which commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the sinking of the oil tanker, focusing on memory, creativity and protest to reflect on the need to continue bringing together the defence of democracy and ecology. The work is based on the funds of the Arcuivo Vivo of the Asociación Cultural Unha Gran Burla Negra.
More than 150 pieces, including banners, protest posters, photographs, intervened objects, paintings and videos, together with documentary material that shows the continuity of the aesthetic language of the political and ecological struggle that still survives today.

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.
