Revelando is the result of a series of workshops which took place at the Centre Cívic El Sortidor in the spring/summer of 2022 with participants from organisations for social inclusion operating in the Poble-sec neighbourhood, Barcelona.
The experimental sustainable photography workshops served to develop the relational and critical aspects of the process focused on the self-narration of experiences of migration and social in/exclusion. The participants produced semi-stable images on paper using food and repurposed material. Given the duration of the photo development process, the dark room became a space where stories and experiences of migratory trajectories were shared.
Among other elements, the show presented an ephemeral wall composed of anthotypes whose details disappeared gradually over the course of the exhibition due to their photosensitivity. A set of twin posters based on texts and material collected during the sessions and designed with the collaboration of the artist Núria Marqués was also available to the public.
The exhibition was complemented by a large format photograph on permanent display at the Centre Cívic El Sortidor.
