hanks to the merger of Señal Memoria and Canal Institucional, “Historias de la contingencia” (Stories of Contingency) was launched in 2020, with seven episodes that narrated in each chapter how humanity has managed to confront different pandemics throughout different eras.
Through a map and holographic cards, we remember the impact, challenges, and profound social, economic, and political changes brought on by diseases such as smallpox, the Black Death, the Spanish flu, cholera, and others.
At that time, amid the uncertainty felt worldwide by the COVID-19 pandemic, “Historias de la contingencia” (Stories of Contingency) was a breath of fresh air that sought to convey a message of tranquility and hope.
‘Historias de la Contingencia’ (Histories of Contingency) reviews world history, guided by historians from Señal Memoria, to learn about data, facts, places, and dates about the pandemics that have ravaged the world.
