Benidorm City Council's Espai d'Art is now hosting the exhibition "Memories from the Closet," which offers a small sample of all the documents and objects that have been hidden behind the walls of personal or organizational archives for years and that are now "beginning to emerge from the closets to tell us and invite us to reflect on our history."

This was explained by the Councillor for Equality, Ángela Zaragozí, who inaugurated the exhibition in the company of the First Deputy Mayor, Ana Pellicer, and other representatives of the local council. The exhibition, consisting of several explanatory panels and related materials, is a travelling activity of the Memory Closet, a public service of the Generalitat Valenciana (Generalitat Valenciana), under the authority of the First Vice-Presidency and the Ministry of Social Services, Equality, and Housing. Its main mission is the recovery, conservation, description, digitisation, and dissemination of relevant documentary collections to build a memory of gender dissidence. The aim is "to gain a more complete and diverse understanding of our history: the history of the LGBTQ+ community of the Valencian Community," Zaragozí stated.

The Memory Closet also develops other lines of work, such as publishing, conferences and workshops, and other outreach activities aimed at expanding knowledge about the history of violence, struggles, thought, and culture of the LGBT community, with a particular focus on the specific Valencian reality.
