Solidarity Park Festival programme 2023
The Solidarity Park festival is an artistic and educational project inspired by the history of the Ciudad de Barcelona, a ship carrying international brigaders that was sunk by a Francoist submarine off the coast of Malgrat de Mar on 30 May 1937.
For the 30 May anniversary this year, 120 fourth-year secondary-school students will be taking part in historical memory activities and creating art to commemorate this historical event. These are part of the activities carried out by the Solidarity Park project in secondary schools throughout the year, as historical memory will only last if it is in the hands of young people.
This festival is also a cultural space for antifascists to come together to discuss, plan and enjoy the art of resistance, struggle and democratic memory. We have to learn from each other and create an alternative to the growth of right-wing extremist ideas.
Our aim is to encourage participation and involve as many people as possible in the growth of this festival. To achieve this, we organise regular assemblies that allow people to become active participants in the project. We firmly believe that the International Brigades would want us to honour their memory by fighting for the values they fought for: freedom, internationalism and solidarity. Our mission is to create a world where the despair that breeds the horrors of fascism is eradicated, replacing the greedy, profit-driven system with one that values justice, equality and human dignity.
