Photography is woman: guided tour

Sunday, March 3 guided tour of the exhibition project “Photography is Woman. The Female Universe in 120 Shots from the Magnum Photos Agency, Postwar to the Present,“ a journey among the most iconic images on the subject from the Magnum Photos archive, taken firsthand by internationally renowned authors and some celebrated colleagues who, looking at the status of women in the world, they documented the social changes over the past seventy years.

Women behind the camera, but also placed in front of it; Women authors of images with which they express their world view or immortalized by shots that explore the multiple dimensions of the female universe, becoming, each as well as the other, protagonists of an intense narrative about the evolution of society over the past decades.

The exhibition, curated by Walter Guadagnini and Monica Poggi, through six thematic cores, tells how the body has been emblematic of the passage of individual and historical time.

Dealing with situations that are also very different from each other, in geographic space and years, the itinerary presents an insight into women’s lives from the end of World War II to the present.

Exhibition promoted and organized by the City of Saluzzo and Fondazione Artea, in collaboration with CAMERA – Italian Center for Photography, Magnum Photos and Fondazione Amleto Bertoni.

Meet at 3:30 p.m. at the Castile ticket office.
