Description
Summary:[EN] This communication aims to make known the Atín Aya photographic archive, its inventorying and cataloging process as well as analyzing its main thematic axes. Atín Aya extensively documented the social reality of Andalusia during the last quarter of the twentieth century, a period characterized by the leap into modernity and the international competition of Spain: European integration, Expo 92, Olympic Games, etc. His legacy houses abundant visual documentation of the creation and first years of Andalusian Regional Administration, the urban transformation of Seville on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition, the policies of preservation of the vernacular Andalusian heritage, the economic, social and infrastructure advances that integration brought with it, but at the same time, Aya knew how to collect, with an extraordinary sensitivity and anthropological view, those disappearing cultural forms that development relegated to ever more minority scenarios, paying special attention to the culture of work and its people. His work allows us to dialectize modernity in Andalusia with a critical eye, as well as to establish connections between the social function of documentary practice and the construction of democracy in our country. The funds of the Atín Aya photographic archive will be available soon in open access at www.atinaya.com, facilitating any subsequent consultation or research about it.
