After the interest aroused by the exhibition “With our feet in the mud. Story on the margins of the news”, exhibited on the occasion of the anniversary of the 2023 flood, in collaboration with the Pro Loco Chiusa d’Ercole, a new exhibition will be made at the church of San Bonifacio at the Cusercoli Castle from 30 June to 21 July. The photographs that Cristiano Frasca took during the days of the flood will be exhibited in a journey that will help even those who did not directly experience the drama of the flood to relive those moments.
The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Pro Loco Chiusa d’Ercole which will keep it open every weekend from 3pm to 7pm on Saturdays and from 9am to 12pm and from 2pm to 7pm: 00 every Sunday. Entrance is free
The exhibition
One year after the terrible flood that hit Romagna and the city of Forlì, Cristiano Frasca, a photojournalist who also collaborates with ForliToday, created a photographic exhibition “With my feet in the mud. Story on the margins of the news”. For the past 30 years, Frasca has collaborated and still collaborates with the main newspapers in the Forlì area, documenting what happened in the days of May 2023 in a large part of the area affected by the flood. In fact, the exhibition itinerary aims to retrace the days following May 16, 2023, telling, through photographic shots that were not published in newspapers, the emergency caused by the flood, the people, the law enforcement operators, the volunteers in a chronological but also geographical of what happened and which was documented through the photojournalist’s point of view.
On display are sixty photographs selected from the huge amount of material produced to document what was happening in those terrible days, the shots published in the newspapers are the result of a very narrow selection and all the rest of the images remain in the archive. Hence the decision to broaden the narrative of an extraordinary event that involved and overwhelmed not only the inhabitants of the city of Forlì but also those who provided their work and volunteering. At the center of this story with a journalistic slant, it chronicles the people the photographer met and who he collected and told about through his sensitivity, emotions and feelings.
