Photo Vogue Festival 2020: The Talks

Due to the uncertainty of social distancing measures and the general Covid -19 situation the fifth edition of the Photo Vogue Festival (PVF), organised by

Vogue Italia will be mainly digital. A never seen before platform will host the exhibitions, talks and projections.

From November 19, 2020 the complete exhibitions – “All in this together” and “In the picture - Shifting perspectives in fashion photography” – will be visible on the online platform:

Photovoguefestival.vogue.it

From November 19-22, 2020 the platform will be animated by conversations on photography in all its forms and projections made by Magnum Photos, PHmuseum and Slideluck Editorial.

In line with the mission of the PVF, the talks of this edition will range from photojournalism to fashion photography, dealing with current issues such as: representation and empowerment, black voices in Italy and in the international fashion system, the evolution of the representation of people with disabilities and gender identity in the media, the analytical reading of news photographs, the impact on professional photography of sharing images on social media and that of the moment of uncertainty we are going through on art and publishing.
