MUJERES BAJO SOSPECHA
Toxic Lesbian
Mujeres bajo sospecha (Women Under Suspicion) is a book containing the research carried out from 2007 till now, along with the video directed by Cecilia Montagut, Memoria y sexualidad de las mujeres bajo el franquismo (Memory and Sexuality in Women Under Franco's Rule).
Female sexuality, denied, silenced or repressed, acheives futher visibility in this project that goes beyond the model of the immaculate woman, mother and wife, especially emphasizing both non-normative sexualities and homoerotic/affective relationships between women.
The lack of information about female sexuality in this period prevents one from telling a lineal story and is worsened by the silence imposed equally by the context of the time and by the women themselves. Many women suffered from repression, but they were also resistent subjects who lived sexual forms that questioned the sole heterosexual mode, distancing themselves from passivity as their fate. The event features the participation of project coordinator Raquel Osborne in dialogue ith the writer Raquel (Lucas) Platero, researchers María Rosón Villena and Fefa Vila, and professors Jordi M. Monferrer Tomás and Kira Mahamud, as well as the attending public.
* The session will be streamed live from 7pm on, via the channel at www.toxiclesbian.org and at @toxiclesbian from 6:30pm on.
