As we already know, the hat is a part of us. Since it was designed, it has accompanied us every day until today, and that's why there have also been historical events related to it and our rights.
The story of the Sin Sombrero artists begins in Spain, between 1890 and 1910, when a group of female artists were born who would revolutionize history by protesting the lack of recognition of their talent and the lack of understanding in society.
One day in the 1920s, a group of women poets, writers, painters, and philosophers decided to make a harmless gesture in Puerta del Sol, Madrid, along with other artists such as Federico García Lorca and Salvador Dalí who supported the cause. The purpose of the act was to vindicate the intellectual role in the conservative society of the time and the unequal recognition of works due to women. To receive the necessary attention, they decided to take off their hats in the middle of Puerta del Sol. As expected, they received negative comments, since at that time, wearing a hat in the street was considered polite and respectful.
This act caused a stir, and with the eventual Republic, intellectuals saw a prosperous shift toward a more liberal society. However, as is well known, in 1935, the Civil War and the Republicans' gradual decline caused a significant number of Spaniards, the vast majority of them intellectuals, to go into exile. Although these artists had to seek help, they never stopped fighting for their ideals and creating new works.
