Here it is. It uses a self-portrait and a quote that we specially love.

This visual will be associated to all these centenary events, as a “fil rouge” between all of them.

With this page, we specially thank Carmen Balcells Agency and Teresa Pinto for the amazing work they do to defend and promote John Berger’s work throughout the world.
