The talk is entitled 'Fuerteventura in black and white: memories and propaganda' and forms part of the 'Encuentros con el patrimonio' series organised by the Cultural Heritage Department. It explores the island's history through film footage and images distributed by the Noticiario Cinematográfico Español (NO-DO).
The speakers are Dr Mario Ferrer Peñate and Dr Jenny del Pino García Sánchez. They will examine the role these recordings played in shaping narratives about Fuerteventura and their value as sources for understanding and interpreting the social, cultural and political reality of that era.
The focus is on the relationship between memory, representation and propaganda. The discussion aims to encourage a critical engagement with audiovisual materials and to demonstrate how important they are for understanding the island's recent past and preserving collective memory.
