Trieste Photo Days, in collaboration with the Order of Friars Minor – OFM Fraternitas Foundation, the Faculty of Philosophy of the Pontifical Antonianum University, and GPIC Friars Minor of Italy and Albania, is pleased to present the prestigious photographic Open Call inspired by the Canticle of the Creatures of St. Francis of Assisi.
On the occasion of the VIII Centenary of the composition of the Canticle of the Creatures, photographers from all over the world are invited to tell, through their images, the beauty and virtues of creation as well as the wounds caused by human influence.
The Open Call is open to all, with free registration and no cost for inclusion in the exhibition or the photographic volume if selected.

Exhibit Around invites photographers from around the world to participate in the "India" photography open call. This project aims to celebrate the diverse culture, landscapes, and people of India through the lens of photographers. We are looking for powerful visual stories that capture the essence of India’s rich history, traditions, and the vibrant energy that defines the country. The submission can include portraits, landscapes, street photography, or any form of imagery that reflects the spirit of India. Photographers are encouraged to submit works that showcase India’s diversity, from its rural villages to its bustling cities, from spiritual practices to the daily lives of its people. We seek works that explore the beauty, struggles, and joys of Indian life, highlighting the country’s complexities and the stories within. This is an opportunity for photographers to share their vision of India with a global audience and be part of a prestigious international exhibition.

The cultural association dotART, in collaboration with Exhibit Around APS, presents "Beyond Words - Poetic and Photographic exploration into the soul of Giuseppe Ungaretti," a project that honors Italian poet Giuseppe Ungaretti and his connection to Friuli Venezia Giulia. The region, which deeply influenced Ungaretti’s works during his time there in World War I, is explored through a mix of contemporary photography and poetry, reflecting on the poet's transformative ability to turn personal experiences into profound words. The project includes a poetry contest inspired by Ungaretti’s themes, photography outings to sites linked to his life, and workshops with renowned photographer Gianpaolo Arena. The culmination will be a publication, an exhibition at Trieste Photo Days 2025, and a documentary, all aimed at celebrating Ungaretti’s legacy and the historical significance of the region. "BEYOND WORDS" is part of the GO! 2025 program, recognizing Nova Gorica and Gorizia as European Capitals of Culture.
