Presentation of the book ‘Archivo ecologista. Memoria y cultura visual del ecologismo en Valencia desde los años setenta’.

On the occasion of the exhibition ‘Archivo ecologista. Memoria y cultura visual del ecologismo en Valencia durante los años setenta’, held at the Centro La Nau of the University of Valencia between March and June of this year, a book-catalogue has been published which presents both the materials of the exhibition and, more broadly, a generic reflection on the archival politics of the environmental movement and its possibilities of questioning, particularly in its aesthetic dimension, the debates and struggles of the present. From this perspective, the presentation of the publication brings together the curators of the exhibition, who have been developing a series of research projects on this subject at the Institute of History of the CSIC, with agents of social and political environmentalism involved in the preservation and reactivation of its historical legacy.
