LA MOVIDA

A CHRONICLE OF TURMOIL
1978 — 1988

OCTOBER 17, 2019 - FEBRUARY 16, 2020
FOTOCOLECTANIA, BARCELONA

After Arles this summer, this exhibition brings together the work of four photographers from La Movida, one of the most remarkable and spontaneous movements to arise out of contemporary culture in Spain. It took place in Madrid, mainly, at the beginning of the 1980s. After several decades of dictatorship and ostracism, Spain’s transition involved a new generation fascinated by modernity and new ideas, which arrived via artists in diverse domains: music, fashion, cinema, painting, and photography.
