It was very lucky last Tuesday, because I have discovered an interesting place where it is possible to enjoy wine, to see arts and to meet new people.
Under the patronage of Terroir Expression Winemakers, Casa de Artistas showed a new Photobook of photoartist Vanesa Tapertte.Vanesa Tappertte is Photographer and Graphic Designer. With an independent View, not nostalgic, not turistic, she searches hidden places, moments, days and places in their own time.

In 1974, the newspaper for whom she worked, asked Sara Facio to make a group of Photos about the death of President Perón.
Sara Facio wasn’t involve with the Peronismo, but she was very sensitive for the impact the death of Peron hat been made in the people.
The pictures of “Funerales del Presidente Perón” are a memory and a mirror of the country, its society and its conflicts.
