Next Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., the presentation of the book will take place in the Sala de la Caritat of the Library of Catalonia Clavé album (Generalitat de Catalunya, 2025), event that closes the program of the official commemoration of the Clavé Year (2024).

Carolina Duran, director general of Popular Culture and Cultural Associations of the Generalitat of Catalonia, will participate; Anna Costal i Fornells, curator of the Clavé Year and curator of the volume, and several authors of the book, in a round table format.

Far from conventional biography, Clavé album offers a collective look at Josep Anselm Clavé (1824–1874) based on the network of personal, intellectual, artistic and political relationships he wove throughout his life. Conceived as a work of scientific dissemination, the volume brings together twenty-three chapters signed by specialists from various disciplines, with abundant documentary sources and graphic material.

Published by the Generalitat de Catalunya, the book is both a tribute to a key figure in 19th century Catalan culture and a proposal to rethink the role of culture, politics and critical thinking in the construction of contemporary Catalonia.

Admission is free with limited capacity.
