We are proud to announce the first major institutional solo exhibition by artist Paula Santomé (Vigo, 1994), presented at the Palacete del Embarcadero in Santander: Wetlands will remain on view through 5 July 2026.

The exhibition takes its title from Coroza, one of the works created for the show, in which a woman weaves a traditional Galician garment to protect herself from the rain. This gesture embodies a form of knowledge rooted in adaptation to the environment rather than in the desire to dominate it. In Galicia, rain is not an exception but a condition of life, and this practical knowledge of weaving, historically associated with the feminine, becomes the point of departure for the entire exhibition.
