Huesca.- Neighborhood associations and students of the IES Pirámide have visited this morning the mural that the artist David Gatta has made in Almudévar within the framework of the initiative ‘50 years of Spain in freedom’. The work, located on the municipal fronton wall, is a tribute to rural women for their contribution to the recovery of democracy and progress in equality and rights in the last five decades.

The visit, led by the artist himself, was attended by the deputy delegate of the Government in Huesca, Carlos Campo; the first deputy mayor of Almudévar, Fernando Martínez, and the councilwoman Nora Otín. The deputy delegate thanked the City of Almudévar for the cession of the space to make possible the intervention of David Gatta, whom he congratulated for his “impressive work of art”.

“This is a tribute to the grandmothers and mothers who fought to regain freedom during the dictatorship and expand their rights in the Transition; a struggle that is still necessary today to achieve full equality and the eradication of male violence,” said Campo.

For his part, David Gatta explained that the mural represents “a woman who has lived through a cruel war and 40 years of dictatorship, and is now sewing the wounds that this period has left, those of the country and her own. But it is also weaving a tree with solid and deep roots that symbolizes the hope of a new time, a time of democracy.”
