A New Beginning
PhMuseum Days 2021
International Photography Festival
23.09 - 26.09 Bologna, Italy
From 23 to 26 September 2021, the first edition of the PhMuseum Days photography festival took place at DumBO space in Bologna, Italy. The event was curated and organized by PhMuseum, an incubator of photographic talents, with the aim of becoming one of the most interesting festivals on the European calendar and to contribute in making Bologna one of the reference cities for contemporary photography.
The chosen theme has been “A New Beginning” because the festival represented an opportunity to rethink the decade that has just begun and how to face the important challenges it will bring such as equality, sustainability, social justice, innovation and technology. The event served as a playground for professionals and a moment of discovery for those who wished to get closer to photography and visual arts.
The program included exhibitions, a collective installation, workshops, portfolio reviews, screenings, talks and panel discussions, performances and a space dedicated to independent publishing.
