La Calle del Agua | El Salto Diario

December 2020

New article about the documentary “La Calle del Agua”, in which director Celia Viada tells the story of forgotten pioneer photographer Benjamina Miyar (1881 - 1961). Born in a rural small village in Asturias, northern Spain, Miyar was an independent woman who learnt the trade of her family, clockmaking, and run the clockmaker’s workshop when her dad passed away. She was a creative self-taught photographer who didn’t fit in the submissive role the fascist dictatorship had imposed on Spanish women. She was openly left leaning and was tortured and arrested at least four times.

The work is published in El Salto Diario, and available online.
