::: Gallery: Living Memory of March 8
For over a century, March 8 has been an international day of struggle for women. In times of crisis, during the pandemic, and in everyday life, it’s women who raise their voices, resist, and day after day, with their labor, sustain life. With collective practices, we build alternatives for life and renew the hope to change the world.
The gallery “Living Memory of March 8” is Capire’s first contribution to build and keep our collective memory, gathering a snippet of the strength of March 8 across the world. We feature 133 pictures by 44 women from 40 places (cities, territories, countries) who have submitted their photographs. Please, access, see the photos and share!
