The Andalusian Centre of Photography in Almería, celebrates its 25th anniversary. Hasta el 15 de octubre, una exposición retrata en el fuera el embrión del centro, el Proyecto Imagina. Manuel Falces, from Almería, promoted and directed it at the beginning of the `90s. It was featured in the programme of the Fifth Centennial of the Discovery of the Americas.
At that time, 36 photographers from all over the world passed through here to both exhibit their work and develop their own vision of the Mediterranean from the Almerian waterfront. Photographers like Abbas, William Klein, Martín Parr, Bernard Plossu, Max Pam, Cristina García Rodero and Cartier Bressón himself, who provided with some unconventional ink drawings, came together to make Almería the epicentre of Spanish photography between 1990 and 1992.
Seventy exhibitions took place during that time. The Mediterranean vision of the photographers who passed through here has been immortalised in a grand exhibition and a catalogue of 456 images, compiled by the Culture Department.
A selection of 93 images from that exhibition is now on display in the CAF until 15 October.
