It’s no secret I like photography and to take photos. Photography is one of my favourite visual arts. The other being architecture.
I took some photos of the 21st Mira Mobile Prize exhibition. They are on a photo gallery on Mondo’s Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/mondobizarremagazine/
21st Mira Mobile Prize runs until August 1 at Mira Forum, Porto. Wednesday to Saturday,3-7pm. Free entry.
Unfortunately we don’t have a review of Urtiqa’s – Frederica Campos and Bruna de Moura – concert at Lovers & Lollypops. We have a wonderful photolog by Ricardo Silva on our Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/mondobizarremagazine/
