Meeting Pierre Gaulon aka @pierrewasthere – Instagramers Gallery 2020 New Artist Pierre Gaulon @pierrewasthere Francia / France Pierre lives in the Atlantic coast in France and you might think he is travelling all the time, but no. ¡He is not! He is a full time teacher in a high school and wandering the world and exploring the best places just during his holidays. He enjoys very much sharing his travels and adventure images with the world. In his opinion, “reasonable lifestyle” is the key: “Save your money and go on adventures any time you can!” Pierre es de la costa atlántica francesa y viendo sus fotos, se podría pensar que viaja todo el tiempo, ¡pero no. ¡No es así!.

En su opinión, el “estilo de vida razonable” es la clave; ¡Ahorra dinero y emprende nuevas aventuras siempre que puedas! . Let’s meet Pierre! . Who are you Pierre? I’m gonna start by saying that I’m definitely not a full time traveller! I think it’s important to say a lot of people are mistaken because of my Instagram account and they wrongly think so. I’m a Physical Education teacher, travel-addict though, but I only travel during school holidays. Funny fact, I’m a former professional handball player. ¿Quién eres Pierre? ¡Comenzaré diciendo que definitivamente no soy viajero a tiempo completo! Es importante saberlo ya que muchas personas se equivocan al ver mi cuenta de Instagram. Soy profesor de educación física,...

Meeting Ana Esmith aka @miss__beige – Instagramers Gallery 2020 New Artist Ana Esmith @miss__beige Spain / España Miss Beige, el antiselfie. Un proyecto multidisciplinar de la actriz, periodista y performer Ana Esmith. Nace en respuesta a la carencia de heroínas femeninas no sexualizadas o cosificadas en el imaginario colectivo. Surge como una heroína del siglo XXI, sin capa ni mallas ajustadas porque sabe que su vestido, cinturón, zapatos, guantes de color beige y un martillo saliendo de su bolso pueden destruir toda la vanidad que le rodea. Miss Beige, the antiselfie. A multidisciplinary project by actress, journalist and performer Ana Esmith. Born in response to the lack of female heroines not sexualized or reified in the collective imagination. She emerges as a hero of the 21st century, without a cape or tight stockings because she knows that her dress, belt, shoes, beige gloves and a hammer always hiding in her bag can destroy all the vanity that surrounds her. . Let’s meet Miss Beige! . Do Ana Esmith and Miss Beige have a certain look a-like? Undoubtedly, that social vigilante that does not shut up when it comes to abuse of power, gender or flag. Miss Beige and I like to provoke and there are certain fields where provocation is more necessary than water. You have to laugh at it, it is the only way to litigate the corruption and the sheep around us. And yes, they both look a little bit like Robin Hood. Already at school, the teachers called me “the lawyer for the poor.” ¿Qué parte de Ana Esmith hay en Miss Beige? Sin duda, esa...
