Tuset Street
4.5

Barcelona 1967. The pop culture revolution. Jordi (Patrick Bauchau) is a rich playboy who runs around with a bunch of high-end hippies, smoking, drinking, dancing and daydreaming about Tuset Street, an effort to develop a popular street in the newer section of Barcelona after the models of Haight Ashbury Street in San Francisco and Carnaby Street in London. Jordi and his gang represent the new Barcelona, wealthy, artificial and striving for imported sophistication. On the older side of the city is El Paralelo, the theater district. At El Molino, one of its many music halls, performs Violeta (Sara Montiel), a showgirl in the old style tradition who supplements her singing income with prostitution. Somehow Violeta represents the old values, the "real world" living along side an artificial creation such as Tuset.

Colita, sin filtros

Colita was the eye of her time. Her photographs capture the society taking shape in Spain from the 1960s through the Transition and into the 1980s and 1990s, when a country long repressed and silenced began to awaken. “I want to be there,” she said, and devoted herself to photojournalism. She brought the same vision to her many passions: flamenco, portraiture, film stills, Barcelona, her beloved city, and animals. *Colita Without Filters* centres on the making of the exhibition *Antifémina* at Madrid’s Círculo de Bellas Artes. It was the last exhibition she saw in progress, but she died on 31 December 2023, before its opening. Her close friend and confidant Francesc Polop, director of the Colita Photography Archive, carried the project forward with her team. The exhibition offers a powerful thread through portraits of women too often overlooked: elderly women and girls, Roma women and models.
