The Arthur Ross Gallery at the University of Pennsylvania will present the first American exhibition of acclaimed Basque photographer Fernando Postigo’s work from November 7 through late December 2025. This groundbreaking show offers unprecedented access to documentation of one of Spain’s most turbulent historical periods.
Exhibition Features
The exhibition will be accompanied by a short film about Postigo made by exhibition curator and award-winning documentary filmmaker Peter Decherney. Postigo will attend the opening, providing a unique opportunity for programming that addresses Basque history, the role of photojournalism, and the press’s role during revolutionary times.
Postigo’s granddaughter, Libby Paquette, served as assistant curator to the exhibition, and she has just begun her first year as a Penn undergraduate.
This rare presentation offers American audiences their first chance to experience one of Europe’s most important photojournalistic chronicles of political transformation and social upheaval.
The Postigo Express is curated by Dr. Peter Decherney, Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Endowed Term Professor in the Humanities, Professor of Cinema & Media Studies, and Director, Penn Global Documentary Institute, with Libby Paquette, Assistant Curator. Funding is provided by the Neumann Family Fund and the Arthur Ross Gallery.
