Talking at “Officina” about photography and arts

  • 21st October 2016/
  • Under : Officina

Tomorrow I will be talking about why photography is the perfect medium for interpreting the struggle of creativity in Arts, in the first meeting (“Officina”) of the year 2016-17 of “BombaCarta“. Part of this topic was covered in my last post, I’ll provide more examples and some other thoughts.

You can read an introduction here (in italian).

This year’s theme is – roughly translated – “What literature is for”. The event is open and free, join us if you’re in Rome (via Panama 13, 11:00-17:00). No booking required.

[Update] You can find the slides I used for my speech on slideshare or download the pdf (in italian).
