Echoes of Memory. Photobooks of the Present'.

Curated by Marta Martín Núñez, the exhibition will be open to the public from May 13th to October 13th at the Montjuïc Castle. The inauguration will take place on Monday, May 13th at 6:00 p.m.

From May 13th to October 13th, the Montjuïc Castle will host the  exhibition 'Echoes of Memory. Photobooks of the Present', a collection  of publications from the Photographic Memory Archive of the Civil War  that originated at the Jaume I University in 2022.  This is the first archive that retrieves, catalogues, analyzes, and  gives public visibility to a series of contemporary photographic  practices that highlight a way of recovering the memory of the war and  its victims through photographic research and artistic  creation.

The exhibition, curated by Marta Martín Núñez and consisting of 40  photobooks, aims to bring the public closer to the map that has been  reconstructed over the last twenty years, giving voice to a silenced  memory that other generations have not been able or  willing to express. These perspectives emerge from a certain emptiness  —that of uncomfortable family silences, institutionalized forgetfulness,  or the absence of references— and a certain distance —that of being  grandchildren who have grown up in democracy—  where the legacy of a traumatic past resonates like an echo in their  bodies.

• The inauguration will take place on Monday, May 13th at 6:00 p.m., with a  guided tour led by Marta Martín.
• The curator will also offer a  commented tour on Saturday, May 18th at 12:00 p.m., as part of the  International Museum Day programming.
• Additionally, there  will be guided tours with the artists of the exhibition on Saturday,  June 1st at 12:00 p.m., with Martí Llorens, Espe Pons, and Montserrat  Soto, and on Saturday, September 21st at 12:00 p.m., with Ignasi Prat,  Noelia Pérez Sánder, and Anna Jornet.
