«Langileen ahotsa – Voz Obrera» is a RIALIA project to amplify the voices of working people. In this room, you will find ten first-person testimonials. With these personal accounts, we offer a unique perspective on the experiences and challenges of the working class during the first half of the 20th century. The interviews have been carried out in the context of the events and shed light on the work environment, their emotions and sensations. The idea is to provide a space where, by sharing their stories, a sense of community and solidarity is generated.
The diverse range of voices represented at «Langileen ahotsa – Voz Obrera» ensures that a broad spectrum of experiences and perspectives are heard. «Langileen ahotsa – Voz Obrera» also strives to educate its audience on labour rights and social justice. Additionally, by providing a first-person Labor Voice, we intend it to serve as an inspiring educational resource.
The content is presented in the language in which the interview was conducted, and through subtitles, we try to make it easier for people with hearing difficulties to understand what is narrated.
In another panel in this room, we have collected almost all the trades that were protagonists of labour activity and that have disappeared or are about to do so.
