Aquafit

Marina Sáez

"A colorful, tender and light comic strip whose characters make you want to run and sign up for aquafit."

Aquafit bears witness to the unheard voices. Those of a group of women who meet every day in a unique space of emancipation: the changing room of the municipal swimming pool in the Barcelona district of Gràcia. The album, a product of fieldwork conducted between September 2018 and March 2020, portrays the experience of old age and the complexities it entails while reflecting on the u unique contributions older individuals can offer in today’s social landscape. Old, young, mothers, daughters, wives, widows, singles, lesbians, repressed, liberated, slaves: the women of an era, the voices that tell the story of a disappearing generation.
