Fighting Fascist Spain -- The Exhibits is an online collection and multimedia public-facing interpretive platform that recovers, preserves, and makes US Hispanic antifascist print culture accessible. These exhibits focus on the Sociedades Hispanas Confederadas, their periodicals, and support networks, showcasing workers' protest through their alternative intellectual, cultural, and political traditions and institutions. These include grassroots associations, the alternative press, and comic and farcical theater, all of which provided opportunities for antifascist activism in the United States.

​

The multi-media and open-source exhibits recover and interpret workers’ antifascist primary sources through a post-custodial approach, highlighting antifascist texts, images, graphic art, societies, and the stage. FFSTE not only recovers evidence of workers’ antifascist visual culture but also articulates how their politics and culture shaped knowledge from below. Worker antifascism is honored through anti-elitist, anti-capitalist, and anti-patriarchal perspectives, emphasizing historical justice and dignifying the voices and perspectives of victims and antifascists.

FFSTE supports researchers, descendants, students, and the general public in their efforts to recover information on victims and fighters of fascism. Ultimately, the project disseminates workers' antifascist culture, history, and political perspectives to educate and prevent the spread of fascism.
