Description

Visit the KBr Fundación MAPFRE Barcelona Photo Center in the Port Olimpic area of Barcelona and explore a space dedicated to artistic photography. Until February, 1 2026 discover the temporary exhibition space featuring contemporary photography and the third edition of the annual appointment with the emerging creation of the new generations of photographers: HELEN LEVITT Helen Levitt (1913–2009) began photographing her native New York in the late 1930s, capturing images that reflected life in the city’s poorest neighborhoods, particularly children and their street games. She did so with an unfailing instinct for conveying, beyond childhood scenes, everything in everyday life that contains emotion, mystery, or humor. Her work soon earned the recognition it deserved, and in 1943 MoMA in New York organized her first solo exhibition. Over the course of her career, she also devoted significant attention to film. A socially engaged artist, Levitt was one of the first women to carve out a professional path in photography. The exhibition (nearly 200 photographs organized into nine sections) offers a comprehensive overview of her entire career. KBr FLAMA’25 KBr Fundación MAPFRE presents the fifth edition of its annual event showcasing the emerging talent of the new generation of photographers who are beginning their professional careers after completing their training at Barcelona’s leading photography schools: Elisava – Barcelona School of Design and Engineering, Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny Serra i Abella, Idep Barcelona, and IEFC. This year, the exhibition brings together the works of Bernat Erra (Barcelona, 2003), Irina Cervelló (Martorell, 2001), Abril Coudougnan (Perpinyà, 1999), and Patrick Martin (Stockport, England, 1996), selected by a jury composed of Javier Martín, Arianna Rinaldo, and María Santoyo. All of them share a critical and sensitive gaze on the construction of memory, whether intimate, collective, or territorial.
