VISITS COMMENTED BY THE CURATORIAL TEAM: REGISTRATION
Inside and out is a project presented by historian Mélanie Ibáñez Domingo, Toni Morant, artist Mar Juan Tortosa, documentary filmmaker Albert Pitarch Navarro and collector Rafael Solaz Albert. It aims to explore the Valencian prisons of Franco's regime in the immediate post-war period. Prisons were one of the main focal points of violence during the dictatorship that followed the Spanish Civil War, and the lives of a significant part of the population revolved around them.
The central theme of the exhibition focuses on the material culture preserved by Rafael Solaz. In particular, this includes the collection of letters written by the prisoners themselves and their families, as well as everyday objects from the period that have been well preserved.
The artist Mar Juan Tortosa will design the installation art where the material archive will be presented in collaboration with architectural acoustics researcher Alberto Quintana Gallardo, where objects, space and sound will be the main material. From a contemporary perspectivethis exhibition will focus on Valencian society in the immediate post-war period, paying specific attention to the complex repressive phenomenon articulated by the post-war dictatorship and studied for decades by historiographers.
