PORTFOLIO REVIEW
Curators, gallery owners, festivals, publishers and schools in our first portfolios review.
The Revela’T festival is a unique and special event, probably the best analog photography festival in the world… 😉 It’s not our opinion, but that of those who edition after edition come to Revela’t and turn it into an unforgetable experience.
Living the Revela’T experience means discovering a whole photographic universe, with an exceptional program, in a very special location, Vilassar de Dalt, a few kilometers from Barcelona. More than 50 exhibitions, a trade fair, sale of photographic work, popular meals, live music, international public, the usual people and the one that you need to meet, new projects, lots of smiles and especially, a backpack full of culture and experiences. Welcome to Revela’T.
In connection with the 65th anniversary of the exhibition ‘The Family Of Man’, curated by Edward Steichen, the Revela’T International Analog Photography Festival takes this iconic exhibition as its leitmotiv for its eighth edition.
The Family Of Man is a part of the 1950s, a particularly convulsive decade in which large sociopolitical phenomena such as the Cold War and its consequent nuclear threat occured; the fight against racial segregation in the US and South Africa; major political changes in Argentina and Cuba; among many other movements all along the globe with an international reach. At the same time, and as an effect of this, the so-called Humanist Photography is consolidated, taking as its main axis the person, extolling and emphasizing his qualities, his values, his spirit and his dignity. This current with a strong social and documentary accent, portraits ordinary life with an eye on the projection of a future full of greater optimism.

Masia de Can Rafart
With the photographer and artist Joaquín Paredes, comes this unique and exclusive Becquerel Daguerreotype workshop. In the workshop, we will start from scratch: from the polishing and preparation of the copper and brass plates, the plating with electrolysis, the sensitization and development of the plates, to their set up and conservation. The workshop lasts two full days: September 24 and 25.
Biblioteca Can Manyer
The photographic workshop “Fotografiar per a Editar” (Photograph to edit) is aimed at initiated photographers, who have some finished material, in physical, copied or printed paper, and who want to show it with the intention of sharing it with others and, like this, letting people get into the possible and multiple perspectives that photography offers.
The workshop has only 12 vacancies at the express request of the teacher, to be more attentive to each of the students and so the time he provides is more enriching for the participants.
