Geographies never before dreamt of: the Winnipeg's voyage

In 1939, the civil war that had broken out in Spain 3 years earlier came to an end with the victory of the Nationalists... The war ended in April. In September, after a month of travel, over 2000 refugees arrived in Valparaíso, Chile aboard the Winnipeg.

Ealier this month, an exhibition titled Geografías nunca antes soñadas (Geographies never before dreamt of) opened in the Museo de la memoria y los derechos humanos in Santiago, Chile, with the help of the Spanish Embassy. Paula Solimano is the head of museography there, and she'll tell us about the journey made all those years ago, and Chile's reception of the Spanish refugees.
