| 2023/12/06 - 2023/12/06 | "Drifts - Daniel Blaufuks in conversation with Ana Gandum and Sandra Camacho": The
premise of this conversation was the wandering of and through images, an attempt at
drifting through Daniel Blaufuks's extensive oeuvre, where the articulation between
photography and site does not ignore the relationship between, on the one hand, public
and private memory, and, on the other, the appropriation of text and moving image.
