Campaigners continue to push Madrid's city council to adhere to plans for establishing a museum at 10 Peironcely Street, a site forever linked to a profound Robert Capa photograph. The photographer's work captures the juxtaposition of wartime devastation and everyday life, showcasing both the horrors of the Spanish civil war and moments of human resilience. The proposed museum aims to commemorate this history while providing improved housing for current residents.
"Capa had found the humanity amid the horror and the ordinary amid the extraordinary. His photograph illustrates the impact of the Spanish civil war, with children playing amidst the destruction, a powerful contrast that remains relevant today."
"The council once envisioned 10 Peironcely Street not just as a memory centre but as a place where Capa's powerful imagery could be displayed, highlighting the significance of cultural preservation amid historical trauma."
"For seven years, the Save Peironcely 10 platform has campaigned tirelessly to honor Capa's legacy and ensure residents of this significant building are not forgotten amidst the push for urban redevelopment."
