From the publisher's description: What do we know about Galicia? What is its myth today? How do we value it - positively or negatively? Galicia felix or Galicia miserabilis? Beloved, good emperor or conservative bureaucrat? Arcadia or periphery and "half-Asia"? "Galician misery" or progress nonetheless? A country of liberal legislation or the proverbial "Galician elections"? A place of happy coexistence or national and social conflicts?
The album, accompanying the exhibition of the same title, is an attempt to answer these questions. An attempt to look at Galicia, which no longer exists, and yet despite both world wars and both totalitarianisms that marked this part of Europe, it is still present as a mythical place, an imagined space. An attempt to talk about the common territory of memory for Poles, Ukrainians, Austrians and Jews separated by borders today
