Descripción del Premio

Revelamos, finalmente, o vencedor desta categoria, para a qual abrimos Open Call no início de março. Centenas de candidaturas depois, surge um vencedor Discovery Awards 2023: Davide Degano com o projeto 'Romanzo Meticcio'. ‘Romanzo Meticcio’ estuda a situação pós-colonial italiana como um elemento fundamental da vida contemporânea do Bel Paese. "Na minha investigação, o prefixo “pós” assume um valor histórico progressivo. Cria uma ligação entre o presente, o passado colonial e as ondas migratórias intranacionais e internacionais, convidando a uma atitude crítica relativamente ao legado do passado e a uma análise cuidadosa dos efeitos na sociedade atual. A era pós-colonial em Itália parece pouco visível e ainda pouco conhecida." --------------------------- --------------------------- "Ensaio Para o Futuro" Na 33ª edição dos Encontros da Imagem, queremos explorar os desafios que continuam a ser vividos e as conversas que ainda são necessárias: a representatividade e a inclusão, a sustentabilidade ambiental, a política do quotidiano e os movimentos sociais como forças poderosas de mudança. Há uma necessidade urgente de ouvir e parar. Se as democracias mostram sinais de fragilidade e os extremismos ganham espaço no frenesim do mundo virtual e da vida real, devemos parar para pensar em novas formas de organização, de modos de vida e de criação. A primeira Open Call do ano está aberta para a submissão de trabalhos entre 7 de março até 23 de abril. Juntem-se a nós para a construção do futuro. 1. RECIPIENTS The Open Call for the Discovery Awards 2023, is open to all artists, professional or amateur, national or international over 18 years old.
