Primitivo July 2024
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else saw this exhibition at the Pilgrim Museum in Santiago? It was an exhibition by a photographer of portraits of people when they started their Camino's and again when they finished their Camino's. It was really interesting and quite moving, and for sure the majority looked much younger and happier in their "after" portraits (maybe some poetic license here).
I recall one particular lady whom the narrative described how she'd come to the Camino because she was basically at the end of her rope with the worries of life and the world, and her before and after portraits were really quite staggering. It was a beautiful exhibition both in words and photos of the transformative effect the Camino (or the particular environment the Camino provides before we get into that debate) can have on some people both mentally and more so with the photos physically (although both are intertwined of course).
I was there end of October when I saw it, so not sure how long it was on. I've done some Googling and can't find any reference to it. Would love to know who the photographer is and if it's viewable online anywhere if anyone knows?
