MENORCA
VISUAL NARRATIVE
WORKSHOP
Dates
From 9th to 15th of August 2022
INTRODUCTION
Mallorca? No, Menorca. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s no surprise because it’s Spain’s best kept secret (and where Jorge & Christelle disappear to when they are not travelling).
It’s the first place in Spain to see the sunrise and its mere 700 square kilometres has a surprising amount of natural diversity and cultural richness. One of the most fascinating cultural events are the local ‘fiestas’, held throughout summer and in which the Menorquin horse is the star.
During this visual narrative workshop we’ll be photographing the ‘Fiestas’ and the days leading up to these celebrations in the picturesque town of Alaior, with the aim creating a story rooted in tradition & culture, featuring Menorca’s people and of course its horses.
