ORGANIZERS
After the great success of the call “Life in the time of coronavirus“ (click to see the report) in the context of the next festival ROMA FOTOGRAFIA 2021 (see previous edition) this year dedicated to the FREEDOM theme, Roma Fotografia officially opens the international call “FREEDOM/ LIFE AFTER IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS” The photo call is promoted by the Roma Fotografia association in collaboration with the magazine IL FOTOGRAFO, TWM Factory, Bresciani Visual Art, Camera Service Centro Autorizzato Canon Roma and The Walkman Magazine, with the support of Festival della Fotografia Etica, Biennale di Fotografia Femminile of Mantova.
CALL
The photo call “FREEDOM / LIFE AFTER IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS” Invites professional photographers, amateurs and ordinary citizens of the world to participate with their images by answering the following questions:
• What are the forms of freedom that are still to be conquered and which are those to be rethought, remodelled or retained?
• In a historical era that has broken down many borders and limits, where the human being has the ability to travel easily from one part of the world to another, to have access through the network to knowledge that has never been so diversified and almost unlimited, where it is possible to dialogue in different languages, to approach known and unknown people, where the right to express one’s thoughts is widespread and freedom is guaranteed by the constitutions of a large number of countries, what it means or what interpretation we give today to the meaning of the word freedom?
• What has changed inside us, in our life, in the perception of what we believed to be natural and which from now onwards we will take into consideration as a conception of a new way of understanding it?
The Photographic Call “FREEDOM / LIFE AFTER IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS” therefore calls to explore this broad and profound, strongly inner and social concept through photography. It therefore invites everyone to express their perceptions, desires, dreams, needs, the symbolic cry or the first expression of freedom to which we will dedicate or turn our attention to, but also on which social aspects we will return to act on so that evolution, of which we are a part, can find a new, conscious and energetic drive.
