Don't miss the September 12, 2022 episode of 'Restoration Conversations', live-streamed from Florence's Villa Bardini. Presenter Linda Falcone joins co-curator Walter Guadagnini to explore exhibition highlights on location, at 'Fotografe! Women photographers: Alinari Archives to Contemporary Perspectives.
"Our intent is to breathe new life into photography of the past, and see the works of the present under a different light," says Guadagnini, of this groundbreaking show which sparks a dialogue between photography icons – such as Wanda and Marion Wulz, Margaret Bourke White and Germaine Krull – and emerging female artists of modern-day Italy, including Giulia Parlato, Federica Belli and Sofia Uslenghi.
