With the aim of highlighting the collective struggles of women from two axes, the Memorial da Resistência de São Paulo presents the temporary exhibition Women in Struggle! Archives of Political Memory , curated by Ana Pato. Using the museum's oral history collection as a guiding thread, the exhibition presents a look from a gender perspective at the Civil-Military Dictatorship (1964-1985) and how the profound marks of this period intertwine with the present.
