Common Thinking

Video projection starring groups of young photographers representing the most significant and contemporary projects and languages. Collectives are the alternative to agencies, new forms of association that allow photographers to produce ideas and projects, distribute them and find financing. Common Thinking is curated by Cesura (an Italian collective) for Milano PhotoWeek, and will allow us to meet, among others, the French Fractures, the Portuguese Colectivo, the Peruvian Versus Photo, the Serbian Kamerades, and the American MJR. The evening will be introduced by a dialogue led by Alessandra Capodacqua, with photographers from the Italian collectives Cesura, Riverboom and Terra Project.
