ColornoPhotoLife. Exhibitions and trends in photography

This year, the ColornoPhotoLife, now in its 13th edition, will once more promise to be very interesting and plenty of events.
The current theme is: Water, source of life, chosen to focus attention on the environment and its importance for our lives, a topic to which we cannot remain indifferent.

From 14th to 16th October in Colorno, nearby Parma, fans of all levels will have the opportunity to exhibit their works alongside those by photographers who have made history of photography.

The program

The exhibitions of ColornoPhotoLife 2022 will be set up, as usual, in the Aranciaia’s exhibition space, the headquarters of MUPAC.
A preview is already visible (until November 13th):

Alberto Sordi, l’umanità fragile with images from the Archivio Storico Fotografico della Fondazione 3M
Il Mississippi by William Ferris, one of the most well-known American ethnomusicologists.

On October 14th and 15th the ColornoPhotoLife 2022 will come alive with the inauguration of the other exhibitions in the Reggia, in MUPAC, and in the Aranciaia:

Not just exhibitions

The ColornoPhotoLife 2022 exhibition program, as a tradition, is complemented by a significant calendar of collateral events and initiatives, involving other artistic languages: audio-visual projections, editorial presentations, portfolio readings, workshops, musical performances. This year the festival is enriched by the Read-Zine fanzine reading prize, an interesting initiative for Italian photographic festivals.

On October 15th and 16th, the portfolio readings are scheduled as part of the 12th Maria Luigia portfolio award, 11th stage of the Portfolio Italia 2022, followed by presentations of books and fanzines.

ColornoPhotoLife organizes together with Sostegno Ovale a photography contest on Instagram: you just need to publish a photo with the hashtag: #ilsorrisochenonsidimentica2022 and #smilecolornophotolife2022 in addition to the tags to the pages of the two Associations @sostegnoovale and @colornophotolife. Photos must be posted until October 23th 2022

The Festival, organized by the Gruppo Fotografico Color’s Light in collaboration with Antea Progetti, has the patronage of the Municipality of Colorno, Regione Emilia Romagna and FIAF (Federazione italiana associazioni fotografiche) and is sponsored by Regione Emilia Romagna and Fondazione Cariparma.
