MUJERES DE TETUÁN

Exhibition Graphics

Madrid | 2026

This year, Mujeres de Tetuán presents its second edition, featuring portraits of 29 women photographed by Anne Banaan.

Inspired by last year’s exhibition, which included photographs by Laura Silleras, the project offers a direct and respectful взгляд at the women who sustain everyday life in the Tetuán district of Madrid.

Once again, Mujeres de Tetuán will take over the Eduardo Úrculo Cultural Centre and the surrounding streets—this time through the perspective of an artist with a distinctive style and approach. Anne Banaan works with analogue photography, a physical process that requires presence and trust, and that goes against the fast-paced way images are consumed today. Each portrait is the result of a genuine encounter, in which every woman posed in a way that felt natural and comfortable to her.

In connection with this analogue approach, the visual identity of this edition draws on the spontaneous graphic language found in Madrid’s public spaces—handmade posters, urgent messages, and improvised typography.

This kind of visual expression brings together art, activism, and everyday life, creating a collective narrative in which each story contributes to a shared identity. More specifically, the project’s graphic inspiration comes from a poster carried by a man on Gran Vía. Over time, we came to know him—his name is José de los Ángeles—and we were able to thank him for being part of this edition.
