The exhibition “Dones rurals. Dones de Lleida” arrives at Àger.
The exhibition “Dones rurals. Dones de Lleida” highlights the fundamental role played by women in the rural world of the province of Lleida. Through photographs, testimonies and other materials, the exhibition presents the history and contribution of women in rural life, stressing their efforts, sometimes invisibilised, in field work, household chores and the preservation of the tradition.
It is a project created and promoted by the “Institut Català de les Dones”, which seeks to recover the memory of these women, some of which have gone unnoticed in more general historical discourses. The pictures shown are a window into their lifes, with a glance which combines the harshness of rural work with female strength and resilience. Nevertheless, not only reflects the past, but rather highlights the social and economical changes that have transformed the rural world where women have gained more visibility and prominence through hardword.
You can enjoy this beautiful exhibition that will be on display at the Casa del Montsec from 21 to 29 March, from Monday to Saturday from 9am to 2pm (except Saturday 22nd).
