GERDA TARO SQUARE IN BARCELONA


This project was made in collaboration with MITO COLLECTIVE.

Women, despite the progress achieved in recent decades, continue to be rendered invisible in various areas of everyday life, especially in public and representational spaces. This absence is the result of a series of practices and omissions that have historically relegated women to a secondary role.

MITO#21, within the framework of the SENSCLUSION* project, works on these issues together with the Memory and Gender Commission of the Sant Martí district of Barcelona, a collective space that promotes participatory processes to recover the historical memory of women and contribute to the symbolic transformation of the city.

The project has focused on renaming Theolongo Bacchio Square —a historical figure of questionable existence— in order to introduce the name Gerda Taro, a pioneering photojournalist who documented the Spanish Civil War. This initiative brings into dialogue two forms of invisibility: that of a possibly fictional character occupying public space, and that of a real woman who practiced her profession under a male pseudonym. Considered a key figure in the early days of modern photojournalism, Gerda Taro worked alongside her former partner Endre Friedmann, often under the shared identity of Robert Capa, which contributed to obscuring her authorship for decades.

In this context, we participated in the presentation event of the new Gerda Taro Square, in collaboration with the Memory and Gender Commission, with the screening of a video created by Pablo Coronado jointly with the theater group of the Àmbar Prim Women’s Association, a local organization involved in the fight for women’s visibility and rights. The event also features war journalist Marc Marginedas as a patron.

This process, despite its transformative nature, has not been without tensions. Some voices in the neighborhood have expressed reluctance toward the change from a more conservative perspective, highlighting that the contest over memory and representation in public space remains an important and ongoing debate.
