Talenti in campo – Fotografia

The project foresees the realization of three photography workshops (Analog photography, Darkroom, Instant photography; Event photography and Storytelling, Photographic workshop) in the context of the renewal, valorization and care of the public areas in Piazza Garibaldi (“the Beautiful Square”) with the aim of transforming Piazza Garibaldi into a place benefitting from urban, social, cultural and economic attention. The Beautiful Square was born during 2020, inspired by the idea of the plurality of people who “live” the square, in constant communication with the city administration and cofinanced by various entities (the Vismara Foundation, the Azimut Foundation, the Rut Foundation, the con il Sud Foundation, Unicredit S.P.A. and Intesa San Paolo).

The project considers art to be a vital cornerstone in educational activities and not just as a way to entertain children. Photographic workshops, particularly those dedicated to the visual arts – specifically the various forms of photography –  play a fundamental role. Photography represents for the youths a privileged means of expression for self-narration, storytelling, biographies and contexts, to produce culture and exchange, to identify political lacunae and regain the stories and memories of the places and people who live there. The workshops aim to begin activities in photographic experimentation at different levels.
