RUFA students in dialogue with Mohamed Keita and the protagonists of the Porto Roma exhibition.
On Friday, July 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM, at Pavilion 9b of the Mattatoio in Rome (Piazza Orazio Giustiniani 4), students from the RUFA three-year Photography and Audiovisual programme will take part in a special meeting within the framework of the Porto Roma exhibition by photographer Mohamed Keita.
The meeting, curated by RUFA lecturer Alessandro Carpentieri, will offer a valuable opportunity for direct exchange with photographer Mohamed Keita, author of the exhibition, and with key figures involved in the project: curator Carmen Pilotto, President of the Azienda Speciale Palaexpo Marco Delogu, and Luigi Bartone from Mosaico Studio, responsible for the exhibition design.
The talk is designed as a moment of open dialogue and in-depth exploration, aimed at delving into the creative and curatorial process behind the exhibition: from image selection and working methodology to the exhibition setup and the relationship between photography and space.
The exhibition Porto Roma, on view until July 27, 2025, features a selection of works by Mohamed Keita spanning more than ten years of work. Through a sensitive and intimate gaze, the artist offers a layered and authentic portrait of Rome, made up of everyday details, marginal places, and human connections.
Promoted by the Department of Culture of Roma Capitale and the Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, in collaboration with Mosaico Studio, Porto Roma is accompanied by a catalogue published by DRAGO Publisher.
