Abstract

After the unification of the cultural policies of the Xunta de Galicia in the last decade of the 20th century, a dichotomy was observed that oscillated between the institutional (with ambitious cultural events that were backed by generous economic funding), self-managed (born of projects ranging from creation to dissemination), and independent groups (capable of causing tension within the institutions and generating collective responsibility). To understand the synergies that fed the fabric of the cultural networks of the Galician Community, this article tries to approach this duality, clarifying the experiences and alternative projects of these communities of independent creatives, as well as the institutional projects that took place from 1990 to 2010.
