FOCUS WOMEN

FOC-Focus Women

Designed in the format of a small festival, it is a proposal for socio-community revitalization that takes as a fundamental reference the photographic creation of a cultural heritage made by women. Photographers, artists, disseminators and researchers invite us to learn about their work. Through activities such as talks, exhibitions, projections and street activities and concentrated on a weekend in a specific location, it creates a space for reflection on its role in contemporary visual creation, from dialogue and participatory leisure.
