Check out Disquiet Alum Phillip D. Wentirine‘s project Pessoas of Portugal!

“Pessoas of Portugal” is the Westernmost of Europe’s take on “Humans of New York”. It is a project that started through Fulbright, and it aims to bring awareness to the people and culture of Portugal. Each story delves deeper into the life of someone from Portugal and the rich history that comes along with the country.
