When Youth Become Custodians of Memory: Monaco’s Call to Capture ‘Heritage in Danger’
In the Principality, a spotlight now falls on urgency: the urgency to see, to feel, to protect. This year, Monaco is inviting its youngest visionaries, ages 11 to 25, to wield their cameras like both brush and blade, capturing a truth.
