fotofreo 2010- Capturing An Array Of Emotions

Published at March 15, 2010 in lifestyle, Art, Entertainment, Culture and Events. 0 Comments

Cyrus Cornut @ Wolf Lane

Fotofreo is one of Perth’s most important cultural festivals and begins March 20 to April 18 in Fremantle.

Why is it so meaningful? Its comprehensive scale; its significant subjectivity, its skill in strong storytelling plus how it stimulates deep emotions.

I urge you to take a day or more to wander through the streets of Fremantle plus other parts of Perth. Exploring and being captivated by the works that can seem at times quirky, controversial, humorous, powerfully inspiring and powerfully confronting plus countless other feelings.
