‘Out of Frame: Rethinking the visual narratives of migrations in Europe’, curated by ZONA as part of BRIDGES co-production efforts, will open on December 19 in Galería Nueva, Madrid
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 Tuesday, December 19, at 18:30pm in Galería Nueva (C/Doctor Fourquet, 10 Madrid), where the exhibition will be on display until Saturday 20, January 2024. ZONA and CIDOB will introduce the initiative, and the event will also count on the participation of the photographer and visual artist Felipe Romero Beltrán, who will present his work featured at the 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.
