Rome Pandemic Photozine Edition 2020

The traditional event for lovers of self-produced photographic publishing this year has been reinvented. As a consequence of the health situation and in view of adhering to current regulations, Funzilla Fest , the festival exclusively dedicated to photographic fanzines, this year will have a fresh new look: from an independent publishing fair, as it was in its four previous editions, it turns to a widespread exhibition throughout the territory of Rome.

A network of spaces will host a Funzilla Corner from 15 October to 19 November: bookshops, photography schools, cultural associations of various Roman districts will exhibit a selection of fanzines received through the usual international call for entry.
Here all the spaces taking part to the exhibition and here all the exhibitors

La pelle che ci separa_Limited Edition zine

La Pelle che ci Separa is a collective zine I have curated as result of the workshop lead during Funzilla Rome Photozine Festival 2019 and published by Funzilla in a limited edition of 50 copies.
The zine brings together the work of 10 authors, which starting from an idea inspired by the book of Kym Ragusa, The skin between us, worked on the multi-layered meanings of the word 'skin': identity, diversity, distance, race, memory, separation, love, insides. The result is a silent object where the images are hidden under the skin of the pages and revealed through few words, or a cut, a pocket, trying to break, in the territory of the paper, the distance that exists between us.

Official launch at Castelnuovo Fotografia Festival on 4 October 2020

La Pelle che ci Separa è una zine collettiva realizzata durante l’omonimo workshop a cura di Sara Palmieri per il Funzilla Rome Photozine Festival e prodotta dallo stesso in edizione limitata.
La zine raduna il lavoro di 10 autori che, partendo da alcune riflessioni ispirate dal romanzo di Kym Ragusa The skin between us, sono stati invitati a lavorare sui molteplici significati della parola ‘pelle’: identità, diversità, distanza, razza, radici, memoria, amore, viscere.
Il risultato è un oggetto silenzioso dove i limiti della pelle ed i confini geografici diventano mappe che si somigliano, e cercano nuove rotte di navigazione in cui provenienza, colore, categorie e tempo si intrecciano, e confondono gli orizzonti di approdo.
Le immagini sono nascoste sotto la pelle delle pagine e svelate attraverso poche parole, sottili aperture, un cuore interno dove entrano in dialogo, e provano a rompere, nel territorio della carta, le diversità, le distanze e i pregiudizi che separano tutti noi.
