Nationalist Protests

Catalan Nationalist Riots, Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona, October 2019.

 

An activist celebrates the creation of a burning barrier blocking the Gran Via at Passeig de Gracia - the upmarket central shopping street in Barcelona. This was triggered by the sentencing of a number of nationalist regional political figures for sedition and misuse of public funds in connection to the illegal 2017 independence referendum.

 

These photographs are a continuation of the State of Independence project, for which I was awarded an ARPS distinction in October 2018. It is a project that I had hoped would not need any continuation.
