exhibition · 2026-05-05

Fondazione Fotografia in Modena marks its tenth anniversary with a survey exhibition at the Foro Boario, showcasing around eighty photographers from its collection of over 1,200 works. Curated by Filippo Maggia using a geographic criterion, the display highlights a recurring theme of identity across diverse visual research. The show also features a secondary nucleus of works by four under-40 winners of a recent open call inspired by Maja Bajević's piece "How do you want to be governed?", addressing political disaffection and youth engagement with power structures.
