War and passive defence: shelters and exiles

Instituto Cervantes supports the Imperial College London on a round table titled ‘War and passive defence: shelters and exiles’ with speakers Dr Anna Nyburg from Imperial College London, Dr Tom Buchanan from Oxford University, Dr Constance Bantman from Surrey University and Max Streatfield from Ramsgate Tunnels.

For those interested in a tour of the exhibition, curator Ana Sánchez will lead two guided visits at 4:40pm and 7:00pm.

Discover Barcelona’s incredible history of civilian resistance and the network of 1,322 air-raid shelters, a testament to the bravery and innovation of local communities during Franco's dictatorship,that can still be found below the streets of the city today. These pioneering shelters inspired debates on air defence in the UK.

Come and explore this hidden legacy of strength and creativity!
