Talk by Laia de Ahumada: “The epistolaries of Hipòlita Roís de Liori and Estefania de Requesens, Baronesses of Molins de Rei”
Monday 2nd of March
7 pm
Free
The private correspondence of these women consists of more than two hundred letters, around twenty of which were written in Molins de Rei or refer to the town. This private, family, and female epistolary allows us to gain insight into the daily lives of noblewomen of this century, their customs and behaviour, their family life, and also their business affairs.
The event will take place in the La Gòtica hall. Free activity with limited capacity.
Museus Convidats: “The Museu de Lleida: opportunities and challenges in leading a major collection”
Wednesday 4th of March
7 pm
Free
The Guest Museums lecture series, which brings directors and museum professionals who collaborate with the Museu del Renaixement, is on this occasion part of the programme of events organised by the Museum to mark International Women’s Day. We welcome Clara Arbués, director of the Museu de Lleida, who will speak about the opportunities and challenges of leading a major collection.
The event will take place in the La Gòtica hall. Free activity with limited capacity.
Talk by Bea Porqueres: “Sofonisba Anguissola, Renaissance painter”
Friday 6th March
7 pm
Free
Past and present are intertwined: today we can celebrate 8 March, International Women’s Day, because there were women who paved the way in defending women’s dignity and freedom. Most of these women remain unknown and anonymous; however, a minority are remembered by name and for their achievements, such as the painter Sofonisba Anguissola, born in Cremona, who lived at the Spanish court of Philip II, and whose works are now held in museums around the world, including the Museo del Prado in Madrid, which devoted a major exhibition to her in 2019. In addition to her paintings, enough archival documents survive to reconstruct her life — a life that was, indeed, most fascinating.
The event will take place in the La Gòtica hall. Free activity with limited capacity.
