Pablo Giori is the co-founder and director of the Experimental Photo Festival, the Ágora, School of Experimentation, and the International Photography Festivals Association (IPFA) in Barcelona.
His interest in experimental analogue photography was born out of his work as a documentarian, historian, and archivist with the estate of Pere Català (Valls, Alt Camp, 1889 – Barcelona, 1971). The Catalan photographer, publicist, and writer is most known for republican posters and propaganda during the Spanish Civil War. He also had contact with various avant-garde associations in Barcelona, and his work can be related to photographers such as Man Ray, Moholy-Nagy, Renger-Patzsch and Sougez, among others.
Pablo Giori holds a Bachelor's degree in Philology (National University of Tucumán), a master's degree in Cultural Studies (University of Girona), a master's degree in Strategic Communication (Universitat Rovira i Virgili) and a PhD in Contemporary History (Universitat de Girona). He has taken courses on Photographic archives management in the digital environment and on Preservation, conservation and digitization of photographic originals at the Institut d'Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya.
