Curated by Fernando Hernández Holgado, this exhibition aims to reconstruct the history of the women’s prison of Las ventas (1933-1969), in Madrid. Created as a flagship project of the republican penal reforms, with Victoria Kent named the first woman director of a prison, it ended up becoming a real “storehouse of prisoners” when the Civil War ended in 1939.
