Cidade da Cultura opens Ser Noutras exhibition in Galicia

The Museo Centro Gaiás at the Cidade da Cultura has inaugurated the exhibition ‘Ser Noutras’, which facilitates a dialogue between Galician artworks from the Museo Reina Sofía collection and contemporary Galician creators.

The exhibition features approximately 50 works by 45 artists from the 20th and 21st centuries. The project is structured around 18 creative conversations, connecting established figures such as Arturo Souto, Julia Minguillón, and Menchu Lamas with modern artists including Lois Patiño, Chelo Matesanz, and Xisela Franco.

The display includes various mediums, such as painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and video art. Notably, the exhibition includes 15 previously unseen pieces created specifically for this project. Curators Chus Martínez and Verónica Santos designed the space to move away from a traditional white cube aesthetic, utilizing a red, velvet-like theatrical setting to house the works.
