Continuing with the actions of Espai 14-15, we invite you to the film forum series that we have programmed in collaboration with Lola Lasurt. Here you will find a brief text about the connection of the series with the exhibition of Lola Lasurt in the Espai 13 of the Fundació Joan Miró.
Through a selection of documentary films produced independently around the 70s, we propose to debate the transformations of the urban peripheries in the Spanish state that occurred at that time. The construction of housing estates—such as Bellvitge, for example—, which welcomed on the one hand the inhabitants of informal settlements and on the other a large number of migrants from rural areas, as well as the neighborhood struggles for the improvement of these neighborhoods, coincide with the period that includes the end of the dictatorship, the transition and the beginning of democracy. This period is key, not only in the urban configuration of these neighborhoods, but in the forms of subjectivation and politicization of their inhabitants.
The program is as follows:
Wednesday, April 2. 7-9 PM
