Book presentation on Alianza Popular/Partido Popular
Description:
Carme Molinero and Pere Ysàs, lecturers in History at the UAB and authors of the book Alianza Popular / Partido Popular. Del franquismo a la democracia (1976-1996), will be presenting their book on Wednesday 18 February in Barcelona.
The book allows readers to follow the trajectory of the conservative political party Alianza Popular (AP)—which later changed its name to Partido Popular (PP)—during the first twenty years of Spanish democracy. It highlights several important facts: AP did not take part in the constitutional consensus, yet later claimed the status of a constitutionalist and autonomist party. It also rejected most reformist legislation proposed by both UCD and PSOE governments, but eventually accepted it once it recognised its broad support within Spanish society.

Projection "On The Wings of Brancusi"
Description:
The documentary portrays Constantin Brancusi, regarded as one of the most important sculptors of the first half of the 20th century, and examines his profound influence on contemporary American art.
Through testimonies from artists such as Carl Andre, Lynda Benglis, Ellsworth Kelly, Martin Puryear, Richard Serra, and Joel Shapiro, along with commentary on other artists influenced by him, the film explores his artistic legacy.
The project originated from the 1995 retrospective dedicated to Brancusi at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and includes footage of his recreated studio at the Centre Pompidou, as well as insights from curators and art critics who contextualize his work and its continuing relevance.
Free entry, limited by the room's capacity. The box office opens 30 minutes beforehand.
