Yeast Photo Festival was founded in 2021 in the evocative setting of Matino, a small Salento village, with the aim of exploring and promoting a renewed relationship between man and the environment through the language of photography and the visual arts. The festival aims to be a place of cultural ferment and transformation, proposing multimedia works that tell the story of respect for the environment and human biodiversity. Since its first edition,Yeast Photo Festival has identified the photographic medium as a meeting point between artistic innovation and culinary tradition, between the local ecosystem and the global landscape. "Food is Identity" is the theme of the event, which is chosen each year on the basis of a specific proposal. Yeast Photo Festival is promoted by the cultural associations Besafe and On The Move.
