“El Maestrat Filmat” is a audiovisual project that brings to the present the different views that have been responsible for immortalizing this territory of inland Castelló (the north part of the Valencian country) throughout the last century. A proposal that aims to reflect on the visual imagery of this eminently rural territory. During the project, more than 20 film archive collections from towns such as Albocàsser, Benassal, Catí or Ares del Maestrat have been located and preserved.

This exhibition proposal is an adaptation of this documentary project. In the first part of the visit, the construction of the archive is presented. A constellation of images that show its origin, scope and context of creation, each one with its own characteristics. Discovering these collections will help us rethink their mere existence and reproduction, as well as their importance as documentary (intangible) heritage. Inside we can enjoy an audiovisual installation, a reconstruction of the interactive web documentary “El Maestrat Filmat-La Memòria Rescatada”.

The exhibition focuses on the origins, history and social relevance of the current Levante UD football club, one of the classic clubs of the city of València. 

The exhibition will deal with some of the following topics:
- The social and political reality of the maritime settlements at that time.
- Catholic trade unionism and the Catholic circles created to counteract the influence of the class unions. In particular, it focuses on the Patronato de la Juventud Obrera.
- The reasons for the forced merger of Levante UD.
- The problems betwenn the two teams' supporters and players. 
- The "dance" of symbology: colours, shields, kits.

Through the exhibition, objects from the L'ETNO clothing collection (Casa Insa) are presented in dialogue with others that are part of the festival in different valencian towns. The main objectives of the project are:

• To value the work of L'ETNO in the recovery, conservation and restoration of the Casa Insa clothing collection.
• Help the museum visitor understanding how the Corpus Christi festival was a "performance" in which the whole society participated.
• To analyze the iconography that has configured one of the main Valencian traditions.

Between 2 October and 13 November there will be guided tours on Sundays at 11:30 a.m. by the exhibition curators. Languages: Spanish and Valencian.

Exhibition related to the TV show "Tresors amb història".

This is the exhibition production linked to the TV show “Tresors amb Història”, broacasted by the Valencian Public Television, À Punt. The exhibition shows the selection of the one hundred objects that have been appearing during the broadcast of the program. The objects tell daily stories of Valencian men and women and are a sample of our history in the last century. With this project, L'ETNO proposes to reflect into the importance of material culture as a container of memory and an element capable of reflecting personal or collective identity.

TRESORS AMB HISTÒRIA has been produced by L'ETNO in collaboration with the Institut Valencià de Cultura, À Punt and the production companies Sunrise and El Terrat (The Mediapro Studio). It will remain open to the public until the 29th of May, and from June 15 it can be visited at the Museum of Fine Arts in the city of Castelló.
 

The main objective of this exhibition project is to offer a didactic and cross-sectional vision of the material culture of the Franco dictatorship. It proposes an analysis of the mechanisms that the dictatorship used to rewrite the history and acquire legitimacy.

The protagonists of the exhibition are the objects that allow to analyze the omnipresence of the symbols and slogans of a totalitarian regime in everyday life, in education at schools or in gender roles and private and public settings. The material culture of Francoism is a paradigmatic example of the policies of doctrine, censorship and repression that characterize the great machinery that the Francoist military regime will establish in Spain.

Twelve collections have been selected, grouped according to some of the most significant uses in the history of the medium: scientific photography in the ethnography section, institutional photography, photography by professionals, photography with a personal, documentary and informative ambition, and domestic and family photography, focusing on the social habits that impregnate the materiality of the photographic object. At the same time, the aim is to reflect on some ideas that cross the photographic medium, such as memory, the archive and an approach based on the context in which the images were created.
 
Photographs have been explained as proof and witness of the past, as an aesthetic expression of subjectivity and as a tool of representation, but also, as the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu points out, they are a process and a practice, a way of relating. 
 
En el recorrido planteado, cada colección nos muestra una visión particular y al tiempo dialoga con las otras. Cada una, desde su posición, va trenzando ese tejido compartido forma en forma de universo de imágenes que entendemos como memoria visual.
