BNL sponsors two projects at Milano Photo Week 2018
The second edition of Milano Photo Week runs until June 10, 2018, in Milan, featuring over 170 events including exhibitions, meetings, guided tours, workshops, editorial projects, and urban projections dedicated to photography. BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas, as main partner, promotes two projects: Magnum Photos Scholarship – Urban Transformation and Lectio Magistralis. The scholarship, created with Magnum Photos and supported by BNL, is curated by ArtsFor in collaboration with La Triennale and Milano PhotoWeek. Italian photographer Alex Majoli leads a free masterclass for ten scholarship winners and one honorable mention, focusing on Milan's urban transformation and architectural recovery. Participants will present their collective visual story on June 7 at La Triennale di Milano. The Lectio Magistralis series at Palazzo Reale's Sala delle Cariatidi features free talks by international photographers: Alex Majoli on staying true to oneself in photography, Armin Linke on photography's doubt regarding change in humanity, environment, and technology, and Lise Sarfati on photography as theater suspended between reality and staging. The partnership underscores BNL's support for quality cultural events.
