ICIP recovers the memory of the catalan peace movement

In order to trace the history of the peace movement in Catalonia and safeguard its documentary fund, ICIP is recording oral interviews with various protagonists of the collective action for peace. In this first stage of the project, interviews have been conducted with the activists Lluís Fenollosa and Jordi Maluquer; the first conscientious objector in Spain, Pepe Beunza; Capuchin friar Joan Botam; Professor Jaume Botey; priest and writer Josep Dalmau; and the promoter of the group Amics de l’Arca and a pioneer of the principles of nonviolence in Catalonia, Fèlix Saltor.
This project of oral memory is being carried out in collaboration with the audiovisual production company Metromuster. The interviews are being conducted by Xavier Garí, a specialist in the political and social history of the Peace Movement in Catalonia, and they will be published on video and at the disposal of researchers and historians in 2017.
