More photojournalism

Fundación Photographic Social Vision and the Barcelona Contemporary Culture Centre (CCCB) present, for the first time in Barcelona, a selection of exhibitions from Visa pour l'Image – Perpignan, the most prestigious professional festival in the international documentary photography sector. Four photographic projects have been selected from all the shows held at the 2011 event.

With over 170 photographs, MORE PHOTOJOURNALISM stands out for the diversity of photographic genres selected and their topicality, offering the public an in-depth examination of four events that made the news last year: the tsunami in Japan, the Arab spring, narcoculture in Mexico and the everyday life of a mutilated woman in Uganda.

In 1989, Jean-François Leroy set up Visa pour l’Image – Perpignan, the leading international photojournalism festival held every year in Perpignan to bring together professionals in the field of press photography. Over the years, the festival has become consolidated as a central meeting point for photography enthusiasts, attracting thousands of visitors, both professionals and the public, who share an interest in photojournalism. During the festival, urban venues are flooded with photography, with exhibitions of reportages produced by photojournalists from all over the world, plus the chance to enjoy screenings in the street and talks.

Date: from March 1 to May 28.
Location: Barcelona Contemporary Culture Centre (CCCB). Montalegre, 5 08001, Barcelona. Spain. Opening hours: from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11am to 8pm.
