Barcelona is filled with commemorative events
During the 50th anniversary of the death of Salvador Puig Antich, Barcelona is filled with events commemorating the last murder carried out by the Franco regime. From the 2nd to the 7th of March, the city will be full of events that encompass everything from music to theatre, through film screenings and poetry recitals, by artists committed to historical memory such as Lluís Llach.
Commitment to memory through arts and culture
The organizers and managers of the events claim to be very committed and claim to “work to keep memory alive through the arts and culture”, especially with regard to the new generations that are beginning to join the contemporary social discourses.
The Model and other spaces as scenarios
A large part of the program will take place in the facilities of La Model, which has recently been modified in order to adapt to the events it will host. Along these lines, an exhibition curated by Antxón Gómez and Lluís Arcarazo will be held. In addition, there will be a mural with the graphic design of Maria Corte, which will be exhibited in the Model itself.
Inaugural conference and outstanding sessions
A series of conferences will be held in which such important personalities will attend as the former president, activist and Uruguayan political commentator Pepe Mujica, who will give a conference on repression and the death penalty which will be the opening act of the program . The existing commitment will seek to bring to the table the validity of the problems we face in relation to unresolved criminal injustices.
Closing with cultural events
As a final note, the events will end on March 7, after 7 days marked by musical acts, poetic recitals all over Barcelona, with Cinema de Compromise. The film Salvador Puig Antich, by Manuel Huerga, will be screened, which at the same time will continue its tour through the three public universities of Barcelona: the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Pompeu Fabra (UPF ).
