Photographic exhibition
From 08:00 to 17:30
This is the result of the ‘Collective Photo Walk’ workshop held during the 2024 edition of the ‘Barão de São João - Walk & Art Fest’. It was a 3 km circuit in the village of Barão de São João and the surrounding forest, where participants were free to photograph whatever they wanted. The group was captivated by the uniqueness of the location, socialised and inspired each other. Each member shows one photo from the event here, along with a handwritten text alluding to their photo. The result shows the diversity of perspectives on our land.
Curated by: Carl Zimmerling e Sofia Portela
