### Upcoming Cultural Events in Andorra
Andorra's cultural calendar features a range of lectures, workshops and exhibitions this week, blending historical photography techniques with contemporary art, ancient archaeology and urban themes.
#### Lectures Photographer Israel Ariño will explore 19th-century photographic processes through the lens of modern artists who echo the pioneers' imagery and goals. The talk takes place at 7pm in the Government Exhibition Hall, Andorra la Vella.
At 7.30pm, David Murias presents "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" in the Palau de Gel auditorium in Canillo, urging audiences to reflect on fast-paced, hyperconnected lives and personal well-being.
In Escaldes-Engordany, a 7pm lecture at the comú's act hall examines gender dynamics—masculinities, femininities, ageing, childhood, pregnancy and birth—in the Old Kingdom's Nikare family sculpture group.
Hive Five Coworking in Andorra la Vella hosts "Neurovendes: Canvia la Teva Sort en Vendes" from 6pm to 8pm, decoding why clients delay decisions through brain science rather than price or product issues.
