Exposición “SENY” Fotografies d’Ivana Larosa. Seny, an exhibition produced by the “Museu de la Vida Rural de la Fundació Lluís Carulla”, is a showing about two sagas of stonemasons and blacksmiths who, since the nineteenth century, have been involved in the restoration of the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet after the return of the Benedictine Order in 1940. Ivana Larrosa has worked in many positions, all of them being related to the audio-visual world and she has finally specialized in photography. Although she possesses a huge training in the audio-visual field and especially in photography, her passion for the camera is vocational and it grew up in her as far as she can remember. In Seny, she reflects on the passage of time, the memory and the prints, the trails, the impressions, the professional transmission of knowledge, the hardness of traditional jobs, the uncertain future… Visiting hours: From Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00h. to 13:00h. and from 16:30h. to 20:00h. Sundays from 11:30h. to 13:30h. Place: Oliva’s Ethnological museum, C/Tamarit, 2-4 http://oliva.es/noticia/11323/exposicio-seny-a-oliva/
