At the Marcelo Guarnieri Gallery (São Paulo, Brazil), from July 8 to August 5, 50 photographs taken by Germán Lorca from 1940 to 2010 will be on view. The exhibition Geometria das Sombras also brings together the “Geometry of Shadows Series,” composed of 24 images developed by Lorca in 2014, and will be on view for the first time.

During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) Antoni Campañà took one of the most iconic photographs of the conflict: a militia woman, until recently anonymous, holding the CNT flag on one of the barricades built in Barcelona. Ninety years after the photograph was taken, her identity is discovered: Anita Garbín, a militiaman exiled in 1939 who never knew that her image would become one of the most recognisable images of the conflict. The photograph is part of the exhibition “Icônes Cachées. Les images méconnues de la guerre d’Espagne (1936-1939)”, held at the Pavillon Populaire in Montpellier.

“La Miliciana infinita” is a documentary that will soon be broadcast on TV3, in which the entire historical study that led to the recognition of the identity of the woman portrayed by Campañà is recorded.

Gonzalo Elvira participates in the documentary “CAB Burgos”, in which Metropolis RTVE portrays the day-to-day life of the Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos. On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary, the programme focuses on the ecosystem of the museum space as well as its exhibitions: Gonzalo Elvira and his “Reading the dream” are part of the report, in which the artist comments in first person on the exhibition framed in the exhibition season 2022.
