Dissemination
The project was part of an exhibition at the Faculty of History of the University of Nantes (France)
The researchers of this project have organized the exhibition "Of doors for inside: life and distribution of spaces in domestic architecture (XV-XVI centuries)". The exhibition is at the Museum of Santa Cruz (Toledo) and pieces from the museum's collections, previously unexposed, are exhibited for the first time.
In this exhibition, the members of the project wanted to present some of our concerns and results. In our mind is to bring to the visitor some sensations and emotions that were experienced from inside doors in the houses of that time. The exhibition has been curated by María Elena Díez Jorge and Jean Passini, a great connoisseur of the houses of Toledo and who has made it possible to show unknown and very illustrative documents about the houses of that time.
The researchers of this project organized the exhibition "From inside doors: life and distribution of spaces in domestic architecture (XV-XVI centuries)". The exhibition was in the Provincial Historical Archive of Malaga from November 7, 2017 to January 26, 2018
Ana Aranda Bernal, María Núñez González and María Elena Díez Jorge, members of the project, explain some houses in Seville to the students of the postgrade course "House, homes and daily life" (EURAME, University of Granada). January 2017
The project team has organized a series of specialized tours to the historic properties owned by the University of Granada. The aim is to look behind the closed doors of some of the city’s most important historical buildings and to find out what life was like inside them, applying a gender perspective.
