Buon 25 aprile!

An exhibition on Japanese photography from 1945 to 1964 is currently running at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin.
The exhibition will be open since Sunday 17th June 2012.
Aim of the curators is to show the role played by the photographs in reshaping the country’s national identity after WWII.
A very interesting call for papers. To reflect on images and gender.

Packing to leave for Newcastle, for an interesting (or so it seems…) conference on women and travel, 1850-1950.
I will analyse some pictures of Italian women in East Africa to reflect on the meaning that the Fascist regime accorded to their travelling and on the representation that it considered suitable for them as “agents of civilization”.
