Summary/Abstract: The absence of studies on Galician female authors who engage in visual art making in parallel to their literary work caused us to look into the biographies of such creators, as well as archives, academic documentation, exhibition catalogues, and even to conduct personal interviews with some of them in order to sketch the development of this field from the end of the fascist dictatorship to the present time. We have established three temporary cartographies and, in each of them, we have studied some of the most paradigmatic figures: nomads between writing and plastic or visual arts. Whether we refer to performative arts or video creations, we focus on people who, in addition to writing poetry, paint, make collages, photographs or sculptures and, occasionally, create hybrid artefacts.
