Presentation of the photobook «Sant Lluís no és Missouri» and meeting with the author
«Sant Lluís no és Missouri» is a project that defends the cultural identity and local traditions of the island of Menorca. Through a nostalgic yet critical gaze, it explains the risk that changes imposed from outside may gradually erase the gestures, habits and way of life that make the territory unique.
