Museu Maritim
Barcelona’s Museu Marítim looks at the history of the city's port in photography exhibition ‘Gent de Port. Barcelona, 1980’, featuring work by Xavier Martí Alavendra.
The exhibition includes a series of images based around the human element of the port of Barcelona three decades ago, and captures scenes that have since vanished and remain now only in these photographs.
This project is continued in a book that further demonstrates the artist’s testimony to the people whose labour made the port possible, and who are captured amongst the vast docks, boats and buildings.
