Roots

As part of the cultural program Risvegli – Second Edition, the photographic exhibition Radici (Roots) takes shape, a project that explores, in a visual and emotional way, the deep bond between people and the places they inhabit, have inhabited, or have been forced to abandon. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on current issues such as depopulation, identity, and collective memory, using images to convey an intimate and shared account of the transformations taking place in the area. The exhibition is housed in the evocative rooms of Mandatoriccio Castle, with entrance from Piazza Duomo, next to the Mother Church, and offers visitors an immersive experience that combines a personal dimension with a universal perspective. The exhibition will be open from May to December 2025, Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Radici is an initiative funded by PAC 2014/2020 – Action 6.8.3, made available by the Calabria Region through the Department of Education and Equal Opportunities – Culture Sector, following the ‘Cultural Activities 2023’ notice. The project is promoted by the Municipality of Mandatoriccio, in collaboration with Cinefilos APS, Cooperativa Letteraria, and Deneb ETS.
