MIA Fair Returns to Milan for 11th Edition with New Partnership
Italy's premier photography event, the Milan Image Art Fair (MIA Fair), is set to take place from April 28 to May 1, 2022, at SUPERSTUDIO MAXI in Milan. The visual identity for this 11th edition has been crafted by Dutch artist Larissa Ambachtsheer, inspired by her 2017 work "You Choose, I Seduce." In collaboration with Gruppo Fiere di Parma, under the leadership of Antonio Cellie, MIA Fair aims to broaden its global presence. The Main section will feature curated exhibitors, while the Beyond Photography – Dialogue section highlights emerging international talents. A new segment, Unexpected, will delve into the relationship between photography, identity, and diversity. The event will also host discussions on NFT art and present awards, including the €20,000 BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas prize for selected works.
