"Through the narration of my family’s history, it delves into the memory of the recent emigration from the spanish state to Europe, and reflects on the mechanisms of oblivion and remembrance, by recuperating the idea of the construction of memory as a nexus and a dialogue, and the elaboration from personal experience against the idea of an official
history and memory, restricted to the institutional and articulated around the aestheticisation and the deactivation of the political subjects." Maria Ruido
