Voci / Voices: Emerging Italian Photography in Reggio Emilia

Voci / Voices — Young Italian Photography in Reggio Emilia

Dates: April 30 – June 14, 2026

Venue: Palazzo dei Musei, Reggio Emilia

Voci / Voices, included in the XIII edition of Giovane Fotografia Italiana | Premio Luigi Ghirri and part of Fotografia Europea, brings together seven projects by emerging Italian photographers under 35. The exhibition investigates the idea of "voices" as a way to give form to unseen or unheard experiences.

Curated by Ilaria Campioli and Daniele De Luigi, the show juxtaposes diverse perspectives addressing environmental themes, migration traces, memory work and identity, highlighting photography's capacity to convert absence into presence.

Artists and projects on display

• Susanna De Vido
• Karim El Maktafi
• Alice Jankovic

Selected from over 300 submissions by an international jury, the seven finalists present a layered visual landscape where personal and collective narratives intersect.

Awards and professional opportunities

• International residencies and mentions, including programs supported by the Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm.
• Access to portfolio-reading circuits and European festivals, such as Photo‑Match at Fotofestiwal Łódź.

Key event

On Sunday, May 3 the Palazzo dei Musei hosts a guided tour by artists and curators at 11:00, followed by the award ceremony at 12:30, when the jury will announce the Premio Luigi Ghirri and related distinctions.
