“Orden público: Vagos, Maleantes y Peligrosidad Social” es un proyecto de Daniel Gasol que realiza contrabando de expedientes de la Ley de Vagos y Maleantes (1933-1970) y Peligrosidad Social (1970-1995) para pensar cómo la legislación convierte a las clases desfavorecidas en delincuentes que deben redimirse a través del trabajo para el Estado.
In the framework of the exhibition Public Order: Vagos, Maleantes y Peligrosidad Social, the artist Daniel Gasol will guide us through his extensive research on the files of the Vagos y Maleantes (1933-1970) and Peligrosidad Social (1970-1995) Law, analysing how the legislation often turns the underprivileged classes into criminals, who must also redeem themselves by working for the State.

In the context of the ex La Modelo prison in Barcelona, we will be holding a round table with Daniel Gasol, with Antoni Ruiz and Silvia Reyes, two people sentenced under the Ley Vagos y Maleantes y Peligrosidad Social, who will share their experiences and legislative processes.
