Da autoxestión ás políticas culturais. A arte galega nos anos da Transición

Abstract

The period between the death of General Francisco Franco (1975) and 1984 yielded many self-managed eventsin Galician art, with artists embarking on exhibition and dissemination initiatives that would ordinarily be theresponsibility of public institutions. These events were characterised by an amalgam of styles and group projectsundertaken in difficult working conditions. The creation of the Regional Government of Galicia brought an endto this situation, with the introduction of modern cultural policies managed by professionals. The current clashbetween institutional promotion and critical and committed creation leads us to look back at this period ofintense creativity, precariousness and excitement, one that coincided with the transition to democracy.
