Last Friday, July 1, the interactive documentary was presented at Can Marfà Stories of Stitches, focused on the memory of textile workers in the city of Mataró. The project is part of the Narratives of Resistance research group, which it has been working on since 2017.

The documentary, led by teachers Aina Fernández and Maria Soliña, consists of eleven audiovisual pieces, two of which have been completed, which were screened on Friday: one on the closure of factories and the other on migration in Catalonia; the rest are in the assembly phase.

The presentation basically sought to give something back to the women interviewed for their participation, pending the presentation of the entire documentary once finished. After the screening, a round table was held, moderated by Pilar González-Agápito, a member of the Board of Trustees of the TecnoCampus Foundation and collaborator of the project from the beginning, along with some of the workers who appear in the documentary.

The project has obtained the collaboration of the Museum of Mataró, and financial support from the Diputació de Barcelona and the Generalitat de Catalunya (both the Democratic Memorial and the Department of Culture), with a total external funding of 24.000 euros. In addition, the project has made it possible to reflect on oral memory, archives and spaces, reflections that have been transferred to six international conferences in recent years and from which a publication in the magazine Documentación y Ciencias de la Información (DCIN) has emerged, from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (indexed to JCR).
