The first one, entitled Oro rojo (12 mins), is based on the complaints of Moroccan women who pick strawberries in Huelva to construct a story that will make us reflect on their complexity and forms of representation. The second one (11 mins) is about a Mexican girl who, despite her university studies, faces trials and violence simply for being a woman. The last video (22 mins), where through sung verses they denounce sexist violence and the impossibility of overcoming it. The subsequent debate will be led by Dragón Mágico.

Since the Casal Popular is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024, coinciding with the Centenary of the first performance of the Pastorcillos in Rubí, they have organised an exhibition in the fourth quarter of 2024, specifically from 8 November to 1 December, run by the Casal Popular. There will be a photocall where you can take a photo as if you were a shepherd boy. The opening will be on Friday 8 November at 5pm. They are looking forward to seeing you. On Thursday 14 November at 6pm there will be a conference on the history of the pastorcillos organised by the AEUR.

The exhibition can be visited on Friday from 5pm to 7pm, Saturday from 12pm to 2pm and 5pm to 7pm and Sunday from 12pm to 2pm. Place: Vallhonrat Auditorium Plaza Montserrat Roig, s/n, Rubí.

Thursday 14th November at 6pm this conference will be given by Josep M. Soler Bonet, a graduate in Geography and History. He has written various articles and studies on the Shepherds in Catalonia and the book Los Pastorcillos en Manresa (2010). He is a member of the Coordinadora de Pastorcillos de Cataluña. The shepherds are a key element of our popular culture during the Christmas period. They have their origins in medieval theatre and have been kept alive over the centuries thanks to the invaluable work of hundreds of centres, community centres, athenaeums and parishes throughout the country. The Casal Popular de Rubí is one of these spaces that, over the course of a hundred years, has represented the Shepherds.

Organised by the Rubí University Extension Classroom (AEUR). Location: Vallhonrat auditorium, Plaza Montserrat Roig, s/n, Rubí.
