Electra at the Nuit des Idées

Electra is a partner and curator, through its editor António Guerreiro, of the Nuit des Idées (Night of Ideas), an initiative of the Institut Français du Portugal that will this year explore the word "More", a word used every day but which opens up various fields of contemporary thought.
