Pictures from my research trip to Spain, April / May 2011
Music: 'Utòpics, Idealistes, Ingenus' by Pau Alabajos who I thank for giving me so much of his time.
Pau is a protest singer songwriter from Valencia, he writes about the themes of government corruption, censorship and sensationalism in the media, and the links between power and audience control. He sings in the language of the Valencia region, Valencià, which was repressed under the dictatorship.
