On
19 March it was held at the Cafe
Metropol of Tarragona (Spain) the Second Edition of Objectiu
Actiu, an initiative of four citizens with the objective of getting
to know the photographers of this Mediterranean city. To do so they
organize periodical hangouts where the photographers can show their
work with total freedom on the subjects.

Adrià
Borràs (photographer), Joel Giné (graphic designer), Pau Luzón
(visual editor) and Roberto Eduard (visual amateur) give the
opportunity to any photographer, amateur or professional, to show
their work. That is how they describe themselves: “we want to be a
platform for the young talents and the social voice for the
photography community in Tarragona”.
On
their web
page you can find the projects shown on all the editions of
the festival and
also a news blog! Please take a look, you will find very interesting
projections! On this second edition I myself presented a visual
project made with my colleagues Gerard Mateo and Pablo
Gonzalez. You can take a look here, we hope you like it:

But...
why Objectiu Actiu (Objective Active)? The team assure us the first
thing they were sure about was the red bulb logo, a wink to the red
light needed in a photography laboratory. Afterwards they had to deal
with the riddle of a name, so they look for a clear and catchy pun,
and that is how they end up with Objectiu Actiu: Objectiu means
either a goal and the camera lens, while Actiu reflects their will
and enthusiasm on this project.
You
want now to do an audiovisual project and present it at the Cafe
Metropol? Then here is the link with the requirements you must
follow:
A
great initiative that was born when Adrià finished his studies of
photography in Tarragona's School of Art. In that moment he came up
with a good idea and created this event with friends who had studied
and worked on the world of visual arts to keep themself busy and
somehow contribute to Tarragona's cultural life.
The
Objectiu Actiu team states their satisfaction with the two editions
and explain us that the first one was more about the novelty of being
born as a collective but still being a success. On the second edition
they were looking for reaffirmation and to connect with audience and
participants, and so they did. With hard work and passion they have
got a nice place in Tarragona's photography world, which gaves them
plenty of energy to keep working forward to grow and improve.

But
this young team will not remain only with projections, their are
getting
stronger and even if the shows are at the base of their project we
will see soon new contents like conferences, meetings and much more!
