Author: Julia Ramírez-Blanco.
The tenth anniversary of 15M has just been celebrated, a movement that at the time had the support of 80% of the population, changed the consciences of several generations and forever transformed the political, social, economic and artistic future of Spain. When in May 2011 thousands of people took to the squares, armed only with tents and banners, they were unwittingly initiating a series of unpredictable processes whose social, political and cultural consequences continue to this day.
15M. El tiempo de las plazas traces the Spanish history of the last decade and is an indispensable guide to understanding our present. In the book, Julia Ramírez-Blanco guides the reader through the web of groups, campaigns and actions of 15M: from the encampments to the neighbourhood assemblies, from the Mareas to the Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca, from Rodea el Congreso to the anti-capitalist flamenco, and finally to the formation of new political parties such as Podemos. The author is a lecturer in the Department of Art History at the University of Barcelona. Her work focuses on the intersection between art, activism and utopia.
