TO BE IN OTHERS

TO BE IN OTHERS

TO BE IN OTHERS showcases some thirty works of Galician art from the Reina Sofía Museum’s collection, created by historical figures such as Maruja Mallo, Julia Minguillón, Arturo Souto and Virxilio Viéitez, as well as by contemporary artists with extensive and recognised careers: from Berta Cáccamo to Menchu Lamas, Francisco Leiro, Xurxo Lobato, Carme Nogueira, Elena Colmeiro, Vari Caramés and Salvador Cidrás, amongst others.

Building on this selection, the exhibition invites creators from the current Galician art scene —such as Chelo Matesanz, Marta Pazos, Xisela Franco, Lois Patiño, Yoseba MP, Jacobo Bugarín, Pablo Barreiro, Julia Huete, Pía Piadosa, Rodríguez-Méndez, Yolanda Castaño and Kiko Pérez—to engage in a dialogue based on their own artistic practice, either through an existing work or an original piece created specifically for the exhibition.

This process takes the form of 18 conversations on memory, identity, territory, conflict, the body, sexuality, affections, care and feminism. These dialogues span time and generations, and have also given rise to 15 previously unseen works, created specifically for this exhibition project.

TO BE IN OTHERS is curated by the Director of Cultural Action at the Cidade da Cultura de Galicia, the art historian and curator Verónica Santos Farto, and by the cultural manager, art historian and Director of the Camilo José Cela Foundation, Chus Martínez Domínguez.
