PhotoEspana, Spain's leading photography festival, has commenced in Madrid and other cities like Barcelona and Zaragoza, featuring over 80 exhibitions. The festival includes notable works such as Ayana V Jackson's 'Nosce te Ipsum,' highlighting the histories of African-American women, and Marisa Florez's retrospective showcasing her five decades of photojournalism. Jackson’s work challenges colonial representations, while Florez documents the post-Franco era through various iconic moments, thus reflecting on themes of identity, culture, and gender in photography.
In this first European exhibition, Ayana V Jackson creatively utilizes archival documents to address representational legacies of colonialism and the Black diaspora through her portraits.
The festival features over 80 exhibitions across various venues, showcasing both contemporary and historical photography, including spaces like the Royal Palace and the Prado.
