This 2024 marks the 90th anniversary of the October Revolution of 1934. The exhibition focuses on the city of Valencia during that turbulent year, captured by Luis Vidal Corella.

 

90 years ago, in October 1934, the October Revolution of 1934 took place mainly in Asturias and Catalonia. During the first third of the 20th century, there was a succession of popular mobilizations defending their rights and claiming improvements in their working life and in society. This events also occurred in the city of Valencia with a 7-days strike that was answered by the government by declaring a state of war. Despite this, it was not the most conflictive event that year in Valencia. Photographer Luis Vidal Corella captured the social tension of the moment with his camera. Workers demonstrated their discontent with work stoppages, protests and pickets.
