This document serves as a record of the exhibition Fernell Franco Fotografías, the first by Colombian photographer Fernell Franco (1942–2006) that opened on March 10, 1972 at the Galería de Arte Ciudad Solar in Cali; the show featured a series of photographs entitled Prostitutas [Prostitutes]. Designed by Hernando Guerrero (b. 1948), founder of Ciudad Solar, the pamphlet includes the text “Sobre la prostitución.” Carlos Duque (b. 1946) designed the exhibition’s poster with the text “Click!” by Cali-based journalist Hernán Nicholls (1931–2008). A photojournalist, Franco was working at the Nicholls advertising agency when he made the series of photographs entitled Prostitutas that Colombian historian and educator Nicolás Buenaventura (1918–2008) discusses in his text. Franco became interested in a group of women from the La Pilota section of Puerto de Buenaventura (Department of Valle del Cauca) who worked in a red-light district that had been in decline since the late sixties. Through photographic sequences of the interior of an old house, he depicted the daily life of these women. At that time, Franco states that “speaking of prostitution was frowned upon and, in a certain way, that was part of the reason so many people came to see the show” (Cf. María Iovino, Otro documento, Cali, Secretaría de Cultura y Turismo de Cali, 2004, p.78). This text was to be published in the conservative Cali-based newspaper Occidente, but it was censored, presumably because the article consisted of a Communist leader reflecting on prostitution. Days later, on March 12, 1972, Miguel González published the text “¿Por qué no has venido a ver a Fernell?” [Why didn’t you come to see Fernell?] in the same newspaper, which commented on both the exhibition and the censored article; the next day, González was fired. On March 26, 1972, the liberal newspaper El Crisol de Cali published the article under the title “Fotografía-arte.”
