About… A hard, merciless light. The Worker-Photography Movement, 1926-1939

This program of commented visits uncovers the lines of discourse present in the exhibition on the origins and evolution of the worker-photography movement, which developed in the 1920s in connection with the international workers' movement. The purpose of the visit is to take a new look at the worker-photography movement, a key moment in the history of photography that is often marginalized, forgotten or repressed, and put it back in the centre of debates on the nature of photographic activity between the wars.
