Dorothea Lange's social justice photography on show in Perugia

Over 130 photographs by Dorothea Lange (1895–1965) are on display at Palazzo della Penna in Perugia, curated by Walter Guadagnini and Monica Poggi. The exhibition, promoted by the Comune di Perugia with CAMERA – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia di Torino and Le Macchine Celibi, spans the 1930s and 1940s. It includes iconic images from the Farm Security Administration, such as 'Migrant Mother' (1936, Nipomo, California), as well as censored shots of Japanese-American internment during World War II. Lange's work documents the Great Depression, Dust Bowl, racial discrimination, and social inequalities. The show marks a step in transforming Palazzo della Penna into a multidisciplinary contemporary art hub.
