Process

The site of memory Les Corts Women’s Prison Monument was conceived as an open and dynamic public space in a collective and participatory process that started in 2009 and was inaugurated ten years after. It is an open process that is born and is nourished by citizen participation and that, therefore, like every living society, is continually in progress.

The Prisoner's Voices

Right after the celebration of the 8th of March 2015 (International Women’s Day), and the commemoration of the 14th of April (anniversary of the proclamation of the 2nd Republic), the presentation of the exhibits at the temporary site of memory of Les Corts prison was re-arranged to give prominence to the voices of the women that lived there.
