The show

Thursday 16 December opens to the public in the Project Room of CAMERA - Italian Center for Photography the new exhibition Sguardi Plurali , born from the collaboration between CAMERA, FIERI - International and European Forum of Research on Immigration and Humanitarian Society with the aim of telling the complexity and the cultural richness that characterize our present. On display, 45 shots resulting from the positive participation in the photographic competition "Plural Looks" aimed at young photographers on the themes of migration and second generations. The exhibition was born from a call to which 19 authors responded. The stories of each of them are different: some are asylum seekers and refugees, others are Italian citizens or are waiting to become one. In this way, photography also fulfills different purposes and projects in their lives: a means of social denunciation, an instrument through which to carry out an intimate research on one's own identity, or a form of expression chosen within an artistic path more or less initiated .

On display are the projects presented by Oleksandra Horobets (Ukraine, 1997), Karim El Maktafi (Desenzano del Garda, 1992) and Danielle Souza da Silva (Fortaleza, Brazil, 1997), winners in order of first, second and third prize, in addition to a snapshot for each of all participants in the call, in a kaleidoscope of stories and suggestions capable of restoring the many facets of this society . What emerges significantly from these works is the need to witness a personal experience, which however, it takes on a collective connotation thanks to the narrative power of the photographic image . With Kolobok , Oleksandra Horobets tells the painful long-distance relationship with her mother through the filter of a Ukrainian folk tale. In the images she uses, archival material and constructed photography are mixed in an alternation of different planes and times that make up a moving search for her own roots. The Italian-Moroccan photographer Karim El Maktafi questions the situation of boys and girls born and raised in Italy, without however being fully recognized as citizens. Constructed with a typically documentary approach, They call us second generation conveys the sense of suspension of those who, like him, are forced in the balance between the sense of belonging to a place and the gaze of those who still consider them a foreigner.

For Danielle Souza da Silva too, her personal experience becomes the stimulus for the construction of a logbook , where words and photographs form a puzzle of cities, people, memories and suggestions. A set of intimate and delicate fragments, in which places become ports in which to land in a continuous exploration of the world. The winners of the competition on display at CAMERA were selected by a jury composed of: Pietro Cingolani (anthropologist, University of Bologna and FIERI), Monica Poggi (curator of CAMERA, Turin), Annalisa Frisina (visual sociologist, University of Padua) , Mariagiulia Grassilli (anthropologist, University of Bologna and director of the Human Rights Nights Festival), Délio Jasse (photographer and video artist), Suranga Deshapriya Katugampala (photographer and video artist). How to film the world event promoted by the Carbonia Film Festival , will subsequently be exhibited in Bologna and Milan in the early months of 2022.
