Description

Ana Penyas's grandmothers Maruja and Herminia lived in their respective Spanish towns, largely overlooked by their families. However, when Ana visited them, she discovered that these women had experienced a tumultuous period of Spanish history firsthand. Through the memories of her grandmothers, Penyas weaves a narrative that pieces together what it was like for women to adapt to Spain's dramatic cultural and political shifts in the late 1970s and '80s. This intimate look at their daily struggle - of silence, small acts of rebellion, and gestures of resilience - gives voice to an entire generation of "invisible" women whose stories have rarely been told. Combining collage and rough-hewn pencil drawings, Penyas offers a feminist tribute to the forgotten lives and legacies of her grandmothers.
