Last Saturday, April 26, 2025, in coordination with Medialab Slaughterhouse (@medialabMM) in Madrid we dedicate a editatona to publish on Wikipedia articles related to the democratic memory of women.

Starting from a previous curatorship, during the day biographies of retaliated women and brigadistas were published as well as articles of spaces, institutions and works related to the civil war and the Franco dictatorship. In addition, during the day several articles already existing in Wikipedia in Spanish were reviewed but that did not include in their content any reference to their repressive past.

Editatona of women and democratic memory #26A

> Expert

As in each editatona, we invite an expert in the subject that we are going to deal with. On this occasion, we have the presence of Sara Lopez Jimenez (disambiguation), with a degree in history and a cultural mediator. Aware of the little visibility given to women when explaining the history of a place, she began to integrate the Herstory in his daily work. Co-organized the Women's Assembly with feminist themed walks and workshops and visits to museums with a gender perspective.

In 2017 he co-founded Category: Herstorics (@herstoricas), a cultural and educational project focused on the dissemination of the history of women with a feminist perspective, of which she spoke to us during her presentation.

In addition, the participants of the editatona received as a gift the book recommended by López, Memory of the cold, by Manuel Martínez del Arco.
