Information on the exhibition:
Through “Vie Incrociate”, the Verzasca Photo Festival explores the power of images in depicting joyful, revealing and difficult moments in encounters with oneself, with others and with one’s surroundings. Against the evocative backdrop of Ticino’s Verzasca Valley, the Festival offers a series of outdoor and indoor exhibitions, project presentations, portfolio reviews and guided tours accompanied by the conviviality and hospitality that have been hallmarks of the Festival’s eleven years. The Festival begins on 30 August at Casa Azul, Gordola, with the launch of the Swiss Photomonth, the opening of exhibitions and the Night of Photography.
At Casa Azul, the Festival presents projects by Tiziana Amico, Mattia Balsamini, Charlie Cordero, Noa Épars, eden levi am, Thi My Lien Nguyen and Andrei Pungovschi, in an exhibition produced in collaboration with major Swiss museums, organizations and photography institutions.
In Lavertezzo, the Festival winds its way between the Verzasca River and rural mountain villages, presenting projects by artists-in-residence Sara Aliaga Ticona and Anuja Dasgupta. Accompanying them is the winner of the Nera di Verzasca 2024 award, Akshay Mahajan, who presents “People of Clay” in a former 19th century school.
