## About
- EYELAND is an event organized by PhEST, a cultural association that has been organizing the international photography and art festival in Monopoli for nine years.
- EYELAND will be the island of the arts, or the Old City of Taranto, a land enclosed between two seas, also known as Isola Madre. MOTHER LAND will be the theme.
- EYELAND has chosen to invite Lisa Sorgini, an Australian photographer of Italian origins who will bring the "Mother" exhibition to the Old City.
- The artist will also be in residence for three weeks starting from April 21st to create a participatory photographic story in the Tamburi district of Taranto. The district experiences the painful environmental and social consequences of being close to the Ilva steelmaking hub.
- The project, developed thanks to collaboration with local organizations involved in cultural and social activities, involves the creation of a series of portraits of mothers and children in the neighborhood, the same mothers who fight and demonstrate every day to protect the health of their children .
- The exhibition takes place outdoors, in the streets of the Old City of Taranto, from 25 May to 30 June 2024.
