Fotografia della differenza: ribellione e dissenso nell'Italia degli anni '60 e '70

The exhibition "Fotografia della differenza" is currently on display at the Abbey of Parma, highlighting the pivotal role of photography in Italy as a medium for activism during the turbulent late 1960s and 1970s. Curated by Federica Bianconi, the event features works from notable photographers including Giordano Bonora, Anna Candiani, and Carla Cerati, among others. These artists actively engaged with social movements, addressing issues of censorship and human rights. Paola Mattioli's contributions reflect a focus on feminist perspectives, demonstrating how photography evolved into a vital instrument for social commentary, moving beyond the glamour of earlier Italian culture.
