Trieste Audace

On the occasion of the tenth edition of the international photography festival Trieste Photo Days, Exhibit Around APS in collaboration with dotART cultural association, celebrate the birthplace of the festival, launching a new photographic open call: Trieste Audace.

The project

Trieste Audace is a tribute to the city of Trieste that Exhibit Around aims to celebrate with a new photographic and editorial project.
The project will be presented during the important international festival dedicated to photography that Trieste has hosted for the past 10 years, the Trieste Photo Days.
The aim is to celebrate the diversity of Trieste, a city of literature, of the bora wind and of historic cafés.

The theme

In this photographic open call, Trieste is defined as "brave" (audace in italian) because it is a city that dares, puts itself on the line, which keeps up with the times without forgetting its origins.
A city where the sea and the mountains come together in an area rich in history and gastronomic culture, a symbol of Central European culture.
A city with a glorious past that looks to the future, as well as its large square that looks out to sea.

Who is it for?

To photographers from all over the world interested in submitting single photos, but also projects and portfolios, focused on the city of Trieste.
Participating photographers will have the opportunity to see their photos displayed in the dedicated exhibition and published in the photographic volume.

The photos

Each author will be able to address the theme through the photographic genre he prefers.
The photographic works must be able to launch an original and uncommon look at the daily life of Trieste, its architecture, the Gulf of Trieste, its traditions, flavors and the Karst.
