Jessica Murray and Rafa Arocha explain El Efecto Instantáneo, a collective show where I have participated with my work and my vision on Spain’s crisis in Galicia, a region located in the Atlantic Coast, Nort West of the country. My work is displayed with the work of other group of photographers who have also contributed with their vision on Spanish’s crisis from different places throughout Spain.
This collective show is in Pati Llimona, a Cultural Centre in Barcelona, and you can visit it until the next 4th of June. The group exhibition shows the different perspectives that we have offered about the crisis in collaboration with Crónica21.
The past May 7th was the opening of El Efecto Instantáneo, a collective show by Cronica21 in Instagram, curated by Rafael Arocha and Jessica Murray. The show is part of Festival ENFOCATS and DOCfield>16 and you can see it in Centre Civic Pati Llimona from today until June 4th.
Crónica21 is an on-line multidisciplinary archive of documentary stories and analysis about the deepening economic, political and social crisis in Spain, from 2008 to the present. Inspired by the Farm Security Administration initiative, part of US President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal of the 1930s, our particular version is adapted to the European Union of the 21st Century.
Crónica21 has an account on Instagram and every 15 days since 2014, a new guest manages it offering its own instant interpretation of the world surrounding him/her. Instagram’s language uses a combination of image, text and #hashstags offering a dynamic record of the current lanscape and helps us raise a widespread question: “Where do we go now?”

Ventana Latina is an online publication that aims to make the rich culture of Latin America accessible to English-speaking audiences. It does so by publishing the work of poets, novelists, essayists, journalists, artists and other cultural producers in Latin America, frequently in translation, as well as pieces by those interested in Latin America living in the English-speaking world.
For the June 2015 issue of the magazine, I was interviewed by Verónica Sanchís, photographer and journalist who collaborates with the cultural magazine based in London. She created the monthly feature, Fotografia Latina, for which she runs monthly interviews with photographers who work in Latin America. More recently, she launched the digital platform, Foto Féminas, which promotes through monthly online features the work of female Latin American and Caribbean photographers and of female photographers who work in Latin America.
