Exhibition about the Palomares incident

The exhibition "Welcome, Mr. Palomares! Phenomenological and phylogenetic x-rays of Spanish nuclearization. Chronicle on the whitening of nuclear fetishism" at the Science and Technology Library, curated by Adrián Camarós

09/06/2023

Through the Palomares collection, of the environmental activist Jordi Bigues –an archive donated to the Institut d'Història de la Ciència of the UAB in 2016 and of which the Science and Technology Library is the depositary–, we build an exhibition on the forms in which the nuclear sector communicates and disseminates in society, science and technology.

The material collected by Bigues is used to document the deliberate control strategies that were applied to the history of Palomares, silencing its victims, aggravating the consequences, distorting the facts and, above all, reinforcing and legitimizing the power structures that caused the accident.

The design and assembly by Adrián Camarós is part of the Official Master's Degree in History of Science: Science, History and Society; and has been directed and supervised by Montserrat Monge, BCT librarian, and Dr. Jaume Sastre-Juan (IHC).

Visit the exhibition until June 30 in the exterior showcase of the Library.
