Editorial approach
Reunion Island voices, many different imaginations and a culture in motion, shared from the island to the world.
Geek culture on Reunion Island is not separate from local culture. It is part of it, changes it and draws from it. This section focuses on the artists, places, languages and projects building those connections.
We want people to discover Reunion Island without reducing it to scenery. Future stories will let the people involved describe their work, explain the context and respect the words, images and stories they share.
