After being displayed in Rome and Madrid, the BRIDGES photo exhibition will have its final stop in Brussels. ‘Out of Frame’ will open on February 1 at Géopolis – Centre du photojournalisme.
The BRIDGES photo exhibition ‘Out of Frame: Rethinking the visual narratives of migrations in Europe’ presents the main narratives on migration in European media and reflects on the role that photography plays in their production. Against the backdrop of mainly negative and depersonalising stories on migration, this exhibition aims to change that perspective by shifting the reference point outside the frame of the dominant narratives on this phenomenon.
‘Out of Frame’ includes works by Miia Autio, Felipe Romero Beltrán, Samuel Gratacap, Alessio Mamo, Alisa Martynova, Aubrey Wade, and the collaborative project ‘Now you see me Moria.’ Through a diverse range of linguistic and visual approaches, all these photographers examine contemporary migration with a common will to raise awareness about migrants’ living conditions, presenting them as subjects that operate in an often complex and adverse context, which may nonetheless be reversed to become positive and integrating. The exhibition also includes a wall installation that depicts a chronology of main events related to migration and how media portrayed them in different European countries, together with a selection of the most representative news stories on migration in these countries from 2015 to 2022.
The opening will take place on Thursday, 1 February, at 18:30h, after the BRIDGES Final Conference. The exhibition will be on display at Géopolis – Centre du photojournalisme until 11 March. After being displayed in Rome and Madrid, Brussels will be the last stop of this photograhic exhibition.
‘Out of Frame: Rethinking the visual narratives of migrations in Europe’ is a photo exhibition curated by Giulia Tornari, founder and director of ZONA, as part of BRIDGES co-production efforts to reflect on and create new, more inclusive narratives on migration hand-in-hand with some of the key actors involved in narrative production, such as journalists, photographers, photo editors and visual artists.
