Tesoureiras do noso
An exhibition to focus on all the women who kept alive the poetry and music of oral tradition, and also to know how their collection and enhancement evolved over time. Tesoureiras do noso is an exhibition in which the Library of Galicia, on the occasion of the Day of Galician Letters 2025, compiles books, songbooks and audiovisual material to understand all those women who began to play and sing with plates and hoes for the pure need for fun and enjoyment, until they took their legacy to the stage.
