The MAN Museum of Art of the Province of Nuoro and the Municipal Art Gallery of Cagliari are pleased to present Minor Islands. Minor Islands. Notes on photography from 1990 to the present day, a major photographic exhibition that brings together sixteen projects by international authors on the theme of the representation of the island from the beginning of the new century to the present day. 



With the opening scheduled for June 26 in Cagliari and June 27 in Nuoro, the exhibition project focuses its reflection not only on the geographical dimension, but also on the cultural and social dimension of the idea of insularity. Curated by Walter Guadagnini and Giangavino Pazzola, the exhibition presents the photographic works of Jacopo Benassi, Paola De Pietri, Charles Freger, Ralph Gibson, Mimmo Jodice, Salvatore Ligios, Bernard Plossu, Marinella Senatore, Giovanna Silva, Massimo Vitali, Lorenzo Vitturi, Vanessa Winship, and George Georgeou (in Nuoro); Arianna Arcara, Francois Xavier Gbré, Luca Spano, Karla Hiraldo Voleau (in Cagliari). 



Photographed in the past by great authors such as August Sander, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Lisetta Carmi, and many others, in most cases Sardinia has been interpreted and transmitted according to a reportage reading of the territory and the communities that inhabited its internal areas. These testimonies have fueled a social imaginary polarized between the central state and the periphery, which has produced representations, myths, and ideologies that, over time, have influenced both the self-perception of the islanders and the perception of the context by those who looked at Sardinia. The stereotyped perception of a place outside of time, a sort of Eden, alternated with the vision marred by the presence - no less exotic - of the bandits who were protagonists of the crime news, of the distant periphery, and of other references related to the theme of underdevelopment.
