Together with our colleagues and collaborators from the
Necronomicon’s
association, we are moving forward in the development of
Bellvitge live role-playing
. At the moment, we are in the scriptwriting phase, and one of the game’s scenes wants to address one of the social phenomena that the usual account of the neighborhood’s history tends to omit, and which, however, is very relevant to understanding the social and historical context of the 70s in urban periphery neighborhoods like Bellvitge: the work of women, both the precarious and submerged work of manufacturing at home (assembling parts, sewing, welding circuits…) and what is usually understood as domestic work (cleaning, cooking, caring for offspring). Faced with this omitted and “forgotten” episode by the official accounts of history, we find the epic account of the union struggles led by the (male) workers of the factories (in Bellvitge, the struggles of the workers of SEAT are especially remembered).
One of the scenes of Bellvitge live role-playing wants to address this issue, and as there is hardly any documentation on the matter (or we have not been able to find it, so any help is appreciated) we have thought of collecting first-hand testimonies, so we have launched an open call to all those people who can and want to share their experiences and come to chat and have a snack at the physical space of LaFundició in Bellvitge, today, Friday, March 1st, at 6:00 PM. We are waiting for you!
