The talks of Photo Vogue Festival 2020

From 19 to 22 November the platform of the Photo Vogue Festival was 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 ranged 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.
