A TRAVELLING EXHIBITION ON THE SYMBOLIC REPRESSION

This exhibition is a work in progress developed by the EUROM and the project Public Art and Memory of the University of Barcelona in collaboration with local and regional governments, memory institutions and research groups.

Displayed inside a big wood container, the installation temporarily returns the symbols of the Francoist dictatorship to the public space, revealing them as something alien to a democratic society.

Starting in 2019, the project has been made possible thanks to the City Council of Barcelona, the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities of Spain, and the Europe for Citizens Programme of the European Union.

The exhibition adapts local research and contents, promoting reflexion on the main symbols of the repression of Francoism. It includes an interactive map, pictures and original elements to allow the interpretation of our past.
