Roundtable: “Democratic Memory and Discrimination: The Balearic Islands and Spain in Transparency”

How does democratic memory promote or exclude past and present discrimination? How do we relate the memory of the Civil War to current struggles for equality and non-discrimination? As part of the cycle of roundtables reflecting on historical memory, media, cultural creation, and social justice, in the Balearic Islands we organize a meeting that brings together perspectives from different generations.

Moderated by:

Cristina Ros. She has been a journalist at the newspaper ARA Balears since its founding in 2013. She served as director of ARA Balears from 2014 to 2016 and from 2022 to 2025, as well as president of the Editorial Board. She currently directs the ARA Balears weekly.

Participants:

Margalida Capellà. She is a doctor and researcher in the field of international criminal law and international human rights law. She served as a deputy in the Balearic Parliament (2015–2017). She is director of the UIB Legal Clinic and also director of LIDIB (Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Rights and Freedoms of the Balearic Islands – Human Rights Lab).

Mar Grimalt. She is a musician and cultural creator with roots in Mediterranean tradition and sound experimentation. She has a profound critical perspective on current reality, which has led her to set to music the poems of Miquel Bauçà and Damià Huguet, authors especially committed to language, identity, dissent, intellectual freedom, territory, and collective dignity and rights.
