We will meet in Goriza and Nova Gorica for the fifth and final photographic walk, an entire weekend carried out as part of the PixAround FVG 2024 activities, for GO! 2025.
The release is also part of the multidisciplinary and action-research project The Double City, which focuses on communities divided by a border, in particular on cities that live next to each other and that in the past (geographically, historically and/or politically) were a single city, but are now divided between two countries. In the European Union there are 36 double cities, each with a unique border situation.“La Città Doppia” è realizzato da Exhibit Around APS in collaborazione con Društvo humanistov Goriške (DHG), IN/Arch Triveneto e l’Associazione culturale dotART.
The release is made in collaboration with Društvo humanistov Goriške (DHG).

Since its foundation, the city has been fatally linked to the border. After all, it was the redrawn border after World War II that gave birth to the city.
We start from the modernist monument dedicated to Edvard Rusjan and then travel through the history of this young city.We will see the development of the city, the first blocks of what the locals call “Russian blocks”, the “Magistrala” as the main street of Nova Gorica was originally called, and the route will take us to the common square of Gorizia and Nova Gorica , which, like everything in this conurbation, has two names.
Following – Lunch and free shooting
Following a precise curatorship, Exhibit Around APS will select the Best Photographers of the 24H Photography.
