Assessment

Generacions TOP» és un recorregut per la història social del tardofranquisme i la transició. Centrada en la resistència quotidiana i el protagonisme de la gent organitzada, així com un espai d’assenyalament de l’estructura repressiva del règim de Franco i dels seus responsables.

Aquesta exposició mostra la lluita social per aconseguir drets i llibertats i reivindica la

democràcia com a conquesta col·lectiva. Una exposició que convida a la reflexió pública i vindica la memòria democràtica del país, on descobrim com les persones van alçar-se davant la repressió i contra la dictadura, bastint una societat més justa i lliure. Un homenatge a la gent que va defensar la dignitat i la llibertat en un dels períodes més foscos de la nostra història.

Organitza: Associació Catalana de Persones Ex-Preses Polítiques del Franquisme
