Positioning Practices

The exhibition is the final result of a two-year project that involved the students of the photography course at ISIA in Urbino dedicated to Italian colonialism and its traces in the contemporary world.

A research project that draws inspiration from the materials present in various Italian archives (MUCIV, ICCD, National Library among others) and the study of monuments and communities in the city of Rome.

“The authors thus attempted to disavow hegemonic Western thought by opposing it to a more desirable accidental photographic thought that led to new conditions of possibility for images”, an attempt to overturn the stereotypes that the dominant historical and social culture continue to perpetrate.

In addition to the exhibition, the projects also took the form of a book, published by Corraini Edizioni and two talks will be held on July 12th from 6pm at Villa Romana:

Museo delle opacità by Matteo Lucchetti

Making Visible the Invisible. Body, Archive and Resistance by Angelica Pesarini

A project by ISIA Urbino in collaboration with Villa Romana
