Observing Memories
2022-12-22 00:00 - 2023-02-08 10:14
The holiday season is just around the corner, and we take the occasion to share with you a small gift: a new issue of our magazine, Observing Memories.
This issue marks ten years since our project began. Vocation, effort and professional conviction are essential qualities when dealing with sensitive and at times conflictive topics such as the field of memory practices and the uses of the past in contemporary societies. Without a human team, and without a diverse and therefore intensely rich network of members, this journey would not have been possible. We hope it will continue for many more years to come.
May you all enjoy a great winter holiday, with our most sincere wishes for a new year full of solidarity, health, and lots of love.

The painting has been coordinated by the urban artist Lucas Vico and was developed in parallel with the hip hop and rap music workshops the students went through in November and December 2021.

About the author
Elvira Altés Rufias (Barcelona) is a feminist journalist, professor of journalism, and researcher specializing in communication and gender. From 2001 to 2009 she was director of the Women’s magazine of the Association of Women Journalists of Catalonia, an organization of which she was a founding member and which she chaired from 2001 to 2003. Her research has served as the basis for denouncing the sexist representation of women in the media and the lack of female representation. Feminine and masculine stereotypes are models that are strengthened or weakened by the everyday experience of women and men, and the media usually reproduce and spread social stereotypes without first questioning them, denounces Altés. In addition, women are often identified by their first names or as anonymous people in the news. Seduction, beauty, and physical attractiveness are the three graces identified with the feminine heritage.
In 2014 he carried out the study Protagonists and journalists in the media of the Balearic Islands, commissioned by Ayuda en Acción with recommendations to advance equality between men and women in the media of communication. In 2022 she was curator of the Year Victoria Pujolar Amat and signed the contents of an exhibition dedicated to the Spanish painter and anti-Francoist activist.
