BOGES - 2nd Academic and Cultural Conference on the Pathologization of Sexually and Politically Divergent Women during the Francoist Dictatorship

The second edition of the “BOGES” project will be structured around three main aims -researching, walking, and poeticising- which combine academic research, the activation of memory in urban space, and contemporary artistic creation.
