MiBACT for the photography: new strategies and new views on the territory
The cycle of traveling conferences is part of the Stati generali della fotografia, a state-of-research project launched by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism (MiBACT). After the first stop on May 27 in Palermo, the second event will be held on June 8 in Milan at the Triennale, in collaboration with the city and the Museum of Contemporary Photography, concurrently with PhotoWeek, examining a system that considers photography either as social documentation or artistic expression.
Subject, iconography, historical context and topicality, as well as channels of sharing, selling or appropriating. Photography offers infinite access points, readings and classifications, both from the semantic and systemic points of view, although there is often a tendency to reduce the issue to a binary distinction between social document and artistic expression. But it is precisely because of this distinction that photography has enjoyed, since the 1990s, a dual identity, thanks to a specialized circuit of galleries, collections, museums and schools, dialoguing with contemporary art, where it contributes to a complex reconnaissance of the world of images. Yet today, in the digital era of the Internet and post-truth, it seems legitimate to question a regime which, though useful, offers limited opportunities and cross-interpretations of photography
