Seen with fresh eyes

A UNIQUE photograph exhibition in Benidorm is encouraging visitors to look at the world in a different way. Photographer José Bravo is taking over the city’s public art spaces with a portrait exhibition which launched on Thursday, February 9.

‘Pequeñas invitaciones’ or ‘Little Invitations’ is José Bravo’s exhibition, made up of 55 portraits focusing on people as the protagonists. The photographer from Castellón explains he captured “moments at random” of his subjects in a variety of striking outfits and with diverse personal styles.

Bravo explained the goal of his exhibition saying he aimed, “to capture the details and moments offered by the environment and the society in which we live.” The unusual images “also invite us to consider the world with fresh eyes, free of prejudices and to discover more about ourselves.” Bravo added that he wants “us to reflect on our way of life and on how we communicate and relate to ourselves, with others and our surroundings.”

The exhibition is spread throughout the city’s six outdoor public art spaces and is free to visit.

CALLING all general knowledge whizzes! Cancer Care Javea has launched a new quiz night, taking place each Wednesday, and it’s all in aid of charity.

Participants are invited to exercise their minds and connect with friends at the weekly social event which began on Wednesday, February 8.

The quiz night takes place every Wednesday at the Inn on the Green in Javea, starting at 7.15pm sharp each week.

Quizmaster Peter Dunn is offering a varied quiz with entertaining questions to test guests’ knowledge. Guests will also have the opportunity to win fabulous prizes including a meal voucher with wine.

Entry to the evening costs €10, which includes a one plate dinner and can be purchased directly at the venue. Guests can bring their own team or join a table of up to six players.

All proceeds raised from the quiz nights will go towards the Lynwen Nursing Team, the organisation’s dedicated, professional nursing team, similar to Macmillan Nurses in the UK.
