This year, the collective award will be presented to the association No Jubilem la Memòria, while the individual award goes to Antònia Serres Buenaventura, acknowledging her career in recovering historical memory.
The association No Jubilem la Memòria, founded in Marçà in 2003, has been significant in recovering and disseminating democratic memory, particularly in the Priorat and other Tarragona regions. They have initiated projects such as a peace monument in Marçà, commemorative plaques for victims of the Battle of the Ebro, and organized conferences.
Antònia Serres Buenaventura, originally from El Pinell de Brai, has dedicated much of her life to researching and sharing her municipality's history, focusing on the Civil War, the Battle of the Ebro, and the post-war period. After working as a teacher, she began her literary career in 1995 and has published books including "Desfeta i recuperació, guerra i postguerra al Pinell de Brai" and "Xiquets i xiquetes de la Guerra: Memòria del Pinell de Brai". Her work emphasizes collecting oral testimonies and archival research.
Through these awards, the Flix City Council aims to highlight the valuable work of two individuals and groups committed to democratic memory, underscoring the importance of preserving historical accounts for a broader understanding of the past.
The award ceremony will feature a musical performance by Arturo Gaya and conclude with an aperitif for attendees.
