This temporary exhibition showcases testimonies of migrant women facing discrimination, exploitation, and violence. Through photographs and personal accounts, it aims to give voice to 'invisible' women and highlight the systemic issues that perpetuate modern forms of slavery.
The exhibition '¿EL FIN DE LA ESCLAVITUD?' (The End of Slavery?) delves into the complex and multifaceted phenomenon of migration, with a particular focus on the gendered experiences of women. It highlights how migrant women are disproportionately exposed to risks of discrimination, exploitation, and violence throughout their journeys and in their destinations. The project is a collaboration between the association Karibu, which supports African women facing these challenges in Spain, and the National Museum of Anthropology. Through a series of photographs by Miguel Ángel García and curated testimonies, the exhibition seeks to bring to light the stories of these 'invisible' women. It aims not only to showcase their resilience, courage, and bravery but also to inspire collective efforts to eradicate systemic violence and the conditions that foster it, including modern forms of slavery. The display features 15 portraits of women accompanied by selected testimonials, offering a public platform for their life experiences and advocating for their rights and dignity.
Entry to the exhibition is free. Further information about Karibu and their work can be found on their website.
