Monuments: visual poems
If Franco’s victims became omnipresent until the end of the 1970s, the memory of the republican victims has followed the opposite path, passing from the depths of oblivion to which they were condemned under the dictatorship to an indisputable visibility today.
Based on the latter, we will reflect on the monuments that form part of our history and our historical memory. Participants will then become artists and create poems/escultures in the style of Brossa and Madoz.
