The 32nd edition of Africa in Bagnols, organized by Peuples Solidaires Bagnols, was launched this Monday, November 4 at the Mallet cellar with the opening of the exhibition of the photographer from Beaucaire, José Alvarez. Twenty-seven portraits of young Senegalese girls and women are on display until this Saturday, November 9 (from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.). “I took these photos during two humanitarian trips to Senegal in 2019 and 2021says José Alvarez. Je take the photo at the moment when the model releases the pose. It makes facial expressions more natural.”
