Lanzarote
Still lifes made with local materials, or with tourist waste found on the beach, coexist in this project with monumental portraits taken with a large-format analogue camera.
Jesús Madriñán (Santiago de Compostela, 1984) uses large-format analogue photography to reinterpret and update portraiture as an artistic genre. His production is born from the subversion of studio photography, going beyond its usual parameters to nourish itself from the paradox derived from the use of traditional techniques (plate camera) in situations that are inevitably spontaneous and ungraspable.

The neighbourhood of Vistalegre celebrates its traditional festival of San Xoán from June 21st to 23rd.
June 23rd, the summer solstice, is the magical eve of “San Juan” (St. John’s Day), an ancient fiesta that is present in all cultures, marking the beginning of the summer, the time of greatest sunlight, the longest day in the year.
The members of the Cultural Association Cidade Vella have prepared various activities in several squares of Compostela’s Old Town to celebrate the most magical night of the year. There will be music, sardiñadas (grilled sardines), snacks, quitameigallos (ritual bonfires), dance groups, foliadas (traditional music gatherings), DJs and, above all, lots of partying.
Five days of music, dance, theatre, big-heads, reading, storytelling, science and much more in one of Santiago's most unique neighbourhoods.
