Matilde Damele's Anthropological Photography on View at Museo di Roma in Trastevere

The 'New York di Matilde Damele' exhibition, featuring the work of Matilde Damele (born 1969, Bologna), is currently on display at the Museo di Roma in Trastevere until September 13, 2026. Curated by Giovanni De Angelis, the collection showcases photographs that delve into urban life in both New York and Rome through an anthropological lens. This work resonates with themes from Susan Sontag's 'On Photography' (1978) and the aesthetic of Nan Goldin, while preserving Damele's unique perspective. The exhibition contrasts the fast-paced nature of New York with the historical essence of Rome, emphasizing commonalities in space, relationships, and identity. The black-and-white photographs act as cultural reflections of societal shifts. The museum is situated at Piazza Sant'Egidio 1b, Rome.
