Visibles is a photography exhibition that focuses on the role of women in rural and agricultural life. Its central thread is the career of Rosa Pruna i Esteve, a farmer from Llerona and a pioneer in defending the rights of women working in the countryside. Through her story, the route explores the place these women have occupied in the sector.

The exhibition traces the advances in the professional, labour and social recognition of women in the agricultural sector, taking as its starting point an EU directive. It also gathers the demands and achievements accumulated along that path, and offers a reflection on the inequalities that still persist and the challenges ahead.

The Museu d'Història de Catalunya, a history museum in Barcelona, hosts the exhibition. Its proposal is designed for anyone who wants to learn about the historical role of women in Catalan farming and livestock rearing through images and the account of one of its protagonists.
