I am a lover of photography, I like to do it and I like to see it. Since recently Barcelona is offering several opportunities to fans like me, I propose another interesting photographic exhibition.
This time it is also about documentary photography (yes, my favorite) and specifically about a project that was the most important one carried out by the International Center of Photography of Barcelona (CIFB) that portrays everyday Barcelona and life in the different districts of the city.
The photos, taken by teachers, students and friends of the CIFB, represent a macro-vision of a city and a population still traumatized by the recent disappearance of the dictatorship, before the great renewal of the 80s and the reconquest of public space and the city itself.
It can therefore be a way of getting to know what this city was and what it did before becoming a pilgrimage destination for party lovers.
