An event to reflect upon the evolution of photography, from being a fundamental part of newspapers to becoming a form of art in its own right
Letizia Battaglia’s graphic, authentic photos were originally intended for journalistic and social criticism purposes, but they became fully-fledged pieces of art. Her experience is a good starting point for reflecting upon the evolution of photography.
