It started in 1997 as a musical event, but evolved throughout their editions to a celebration of alternative culture. The Boom is now a multidisciplinary festival, transgenerational and intercultural. It is a multidisciplinary event because it crosses several artistic currents, such as painting, sculpture, land art, interactive installations, music, video art, gallery art or graffiti. The artistic proposals are complemented by a large poster of conferences, workshops, presentations and Tertulia with themes such as alternative methods of science, Astrobiology, visionary culture, ancient cultures, spirituality, gnosticism, anthropology, psychology of consciousness, paganism or emotional intelligence.
