📚Memòria de fang. In Memory of the Victims of the DANA

The phrase “only the people save the people,” written in mud letters on the walls, is a powerful statement that says much more than it seems. It carries a certainty that is both bitter and joyful at the same time: that solidarity, tenderness, and salvation can only be given to us by one another, without expecting too much from the rest.

Thanks to @valenciansuk and @catalans_uk for last night, Thank you for the organisation and for bringing the voices of such wonderful people. We had the opportunity to listen to @paualabajos and Òscar, author and editor of the book Memòria de fang, an essay in interview format that gathers the stories, reflections, and experiences of those affected by and who survived the flood.

We also heard the moving testimony of Rafel, a member of ValenciansUK, a Valencian living in London who lost two brothers in the flood, and who showed us the true face of dignity and struggle.

We closed the evening with an emotional concert by Pau, who set to music everything that was floating in the room and in our minds.

Thank you to everyone who attended—for the emotion, the debates, the ideas. We keep going!
