About this event
Isabel Bedoya Palop (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) closes the series with the question the archives answer least well: what was an enslaved woman's life actually like — what work she did, what she owned, how she resisted. Held in Can Fabra, a converted Sant Andreu textile mill that is now one of the city's best library buildings.
