Damn mine

An audiovisual excavation in the mining basin of Gordón (León), affected by a situation of dismantling the mining industry and the forms of life associated with it.

The project has been proposed as a collective work through local groups, in which the last images of the mine are intermingled with the conversations held among women miners throughout the period 2016-2017. In the resulting film layers of complexity are added to an epic reading about class struggle, while aspects such as care work or affective components, usually relegated in the conventional story about the mine, are put in value.
