Cultural recommendation for the weekend

Exposition " A hard light, without mercy. The movement of working photography, 1926-1939”

“Delves into the analysis of a period in the history of photography in the XNUMXth century in which it is placed at the service of the various labor movements (from trade union associationism to the creation of “worker” states, such as the Soviet) , starting from the self-awareness of the working class and the taking over of the mechanisms of production and reproduction of images.”
