A two-week residency on Lake Garda to develop a photographic project in full autonomy
A two-week residency on Lake Garda to develop a photographic project in full autonomy
The initiative, now in its third edition this year, was born from the desire of the Sirmione Municipality to see its city in a new light: through the lens of photographers capable of producing an authentic and innovative representation of the territory and its community. The Sirmione Photo Residency, which has registered an interest and response above expectations since the first edition, launches the XV Edition of the Sirmione Award for Photography, made up of 5 different competitions.
The peculiarity of the Sirmione Photo Residency lies in the great freedom granted to participants to conceive, propose and carry out their own photographic project, letting themselves be inspired by Sirmione and its territory.
The Sirmione Photo Residency is a research and development residency in which photography can become the key tool for tracing points of union between the different dimensions of collective living and translating into an opportunity for cultural and ethical growth of society.
