Cortona On The Move
July 11 / September 29 2019
Director Antonio Carloni
Artistic Director Arianna Rinaldo
The 2019 edition of Cortona On The Move follows the intention of the festival to be a space for reflection and visual discourse on the world we live in. This year’s focus takes shape around the relationship between humans and landscape. Nature and environment are key words nowadays. The land is a central element in human life, both in the realm of urgent ecological issues that need to be solved, and in relation to the world’s social and economic situation. In this edition, by means of contemporary documentary photography, and under the artistic
direction of Arianna Rinaldo, the works on show reveal and interpret today’s relationship between humans and their surroundings. Such a complex, multifaceted relation questions us on our
present, our future and our past.
