Moderator:
Eva Mañez. Photojournalist.

With the special participation of the photographer Sergi Centelles.

The Valencian Agustí Centelles Ossó (1909-1985) is considered one of the precursors of photojournalism in Spain. He is the author of some of the most representative images of the Spanish Civil War, as well as the valuable testimony he documented during his exile in France in the Bram concentration camp, where he was interned between March and September 1939. His archive is made up of more than 10,000 photographs and 5,600 negatives. Together with the researcher Teresa Ferré Panisello, who has devoted part of her academic output to the work of Agustí Centelles, we will review the repercussions of his legacy and some unknown chapters of the photojournalist's life, such as his career in industrial and advertising photography.
