Mimi Mollica | A Photographer's Journey
Mimi has spent decades using the camera to navigate the space between the personal and the universal. In this talk he'll trace the arc of a career shaped by curiosity, formal restlessness and a deep concern with the human condition.
Moving across projects — among them Terra Nostra, En Route To Dakar, Nora There, Bus Stories, Marginal Brasil and Moon City — Mollica reflects on what draws him to the communities and places he photographs, and on photography itself as a way to engage honestly with the world.
Mimi Mollica is an award winning photographer and editor, born in Palermo - Sicily in 1975. His photo essays deal with social issues and topics related to identity, environment, migration and macroscopic human transitions. Mimi chooses to work on long term projects which allow him to research explore and develop a subject in depth. As a result Mimi had travelled and photographed across the continents working on assignment and on his personal projects.
Mimi collaborates with a number of prestigious magazines and book publishers, including among others; The Guardian Weekend Magazine, FT Weekend Magazine, The NYT Lens blog, Newsweek Japan, Sunday Times Magazine, Internazionale, Granta Magazine, Thames & Hudson and Lars Muller.
In early 2015 Mimi founded the Photo Meet, an organisation aimed at celebrating photography through a series of events such as the Offspring Photo Meet which include portfolio reviews, lectures, networking, presentations and much more.
