Cultural series: Encuentros con el Patrimonioverified
The Encuentros con el Patrimonio series, run by the Cultural Heritage Service, comes to the Archivo General Insular in Puerto del Rosario with the colloquium Fuerteventura en blanco y negro: recuerdos y propaganda, on the images of the NO-DO newsreel. Dr. Mario Ferrer Peñate and Dr. Jenny del Pino García Sánchez will look at the role of those images in the stories told about the island. Free admission.
As part of the Encuentros con el Patrimonio series, promoted by the Cultural Heritage Service, the colloquium Fuerteventura en blanco y negro: recuerdos y propaganda (imágenes del NO-DO) approaches the island's historical memory through the audiovisual documents and images distributed by the Spanish newsreel Noticiario Cinematográfico Español. Dr. Mario Ferrer Peñate and Dr. Jenny del Pino García Sánchez will analyse the role these images played in shaping the narratives about Fuerteventura and their value as sources for understanding the social, cultural and political reality of an era.
The session invites reflection on the links between memory, representation and propaganda, and a critical reading of audiovisual material. Admission is free. The colloquium takes place in the assembly hall of the Archivo General Insular in Puerto del Rosario on Friday 20 November 2026 at 19:00.
