The Xunta de Galicia has reached an agreement with the Santa María la Real Foundation to bring Romanesque art to new audiences. The initiative includes seminars, online courses, and podcasts. The goal is to make this heritage, scattered across churches and monasteries, better known outside the academic sphere and accessible to locals and visitors.
Podcasts and online courses to digitize heritage 🎧
The collaboration relies on digital tools to overcome geographical barriers. Online courses will provide flexible access to content on Romanesque architecture and iconography. Podcasts, on the other hand, offer a light format to explore stories and construction details. This strategy aims to create an audio and academic archive that can be consulted without having to travel to the monuments.
From podcast to stone: a shortcut to avoid visiting the church 🛋️
Finally, you can learn everything about Galician Romanesque art without leaving your couch. Forget the dampness of churches or having to get up early to see a capital. Now, with a podcast, you can learn the story of the abacus and the drum while washing the dishes. Of course, don't complain later if during the actual visit you don't even recognize the semicircular arch.
