Winding up the week, the 6th edition of project Lambe-Lambe will take place. Thought up by f/508, its objective is to open a space of reflection about photography in Brasília. The photographic projections are used as basis to spread local, national and latin american productions.

F/508 intends, with the f/508 Week of Photography, to fulfill the gaps that exists up until now in its city by creating an event that aggregates ideas, produced by photographers for photographers and everyone else interested in photographic art.
