This year, the Olympic Games are being held in Paris, France. Surfing is also an Olympic sport - but the competitions take place in Tahiti, in French Polynesia. Embedded as photographer within the NGO Ile du Monde, Lorenzo Borghi flew to Papeete and took impressive pictures of local sports and traditional festivals. A selection out of 10,000 pictures created the photo exhibition La Mana Olympique, which will be on display for the entire duration of the Olympic Games. The photographs are for sale. The proceeds will go to NGOs in Tahiti (Te Ora Naho and Haururu) for social projects that promote environmental protection, sustainable agriculture and teach traditional knowledge in local schools and universities. The photography exhibition "La Mana Olympique" is open daily in the MARKTHALLE Basel room called Stereo.
