“Photographs with Stories” is a pilot project for searching, recovering and documenting these spaces in the city with images and subsequently sharing them with the public. The deadline for submitting images is Sunday, May 11.
Museu de Manresa and Museu de l’Aigua i el Tèxtil are launching the project “Photographs with Stories”, an initiative to recover images from the area around Via Sant Ignasi, from the Fàbrica Nova to the Passeig del Riu, as well as the Escodines neighborhood. The aim is to document these spaces in the city and share the images and memories in a session open to everyone, led by historian Francesc Comas Closas.
“Photographs with stories” is an activity made up of two phases: the first is a calling on citizens to provide photographs related to Via de Sant Ignasi, from the Fàbrica Nova to the Passeig del Riu, as well as the Escodines neighborhood. The chronology of the images is open, so old and current photographs can be contributed. Citizens who want to participate in the project can send the images via email to info@museudemanresa.cat or go in person to the Museu de Manresa where the photographs contributed will be digitized. The deadline for contributing photographs is Sunday, May 11.

Once the research and image contribution phase is complete, on Tuesday 13 May at 6pm, the photographs will be shared in a session led by historian Francesc Comas Closas, which will take place in the cloister room of the Manresa Museum. Everyone will be able to attend the session for generating community memories and for creating a meeting environment where to dialogue, share, remember and record the stories that the photographs are telling us. To attend the session, it is recommended to book here.
This is the first project in which the two museums of the city are working together. “Photographs with Stories” has the mission of both museums: highlighting the most recent history of the city, and also in weaving stories and reflections on the changes that society has experienced. From the way of working to the way of living in this neighborhood and its surroundings with a powerful industrial past.
This project is part of the program of activities of the MNACTEC BUS, an innovative traveling museum project promoted by the Museu Nacional de la Ciència i de la Tècnica de Catalunya. “Photographs with Stories” is being piloted at the Manresa Museum, but the objective of the activity is to incorporate it into the MNACTEC BUS offer and for this proposal to also be carried out in different towns.
