"Sat Sri Akal - The Sikh Community in Rome"
Since the 1970s, Italy has become one of the main goals of migration, both for the gradual closure of the borders by the English-speaking countries and for the lack of legislation on immigration. Of the approximately 150 thousand Indians residing in Italy (ISTAT), about 110 thousand are Sikh: the first largest community in Europe. In Lazio, Sikhs are used mainly as agricultural laborers or livestock farmers. Exploitation and undeclared work are widespread, despite the commitment of cultural and union associations to guarantee the main rights of migrant workers.The pride, the strong sense of belonging and the spirit of solidarity that characterize the Sikh people have favored the development of a dense network of transnational relations and the birth of associations linked to the affirmation of identity.
NIKOS ECONOMOPOULOS EXHIBITION : "SOUTH"
Renowned Magnum photographer Nikos Economopoulos presents South: as places far apart -or deep inside- and as a human condition. Where there is an abundance of human interaction, where the thresholds are crossed, the barriers negotiated, where life overflows.
What I am looking for is not the truth, in the sense of the unique and uncontested truth. Ultimately it is the lie, the suspension of dis-belief, or, what makes hope possible. Like asking a question and going about it without an answer, uncovering instead layers and layers of other questions taking you along divergent paths. Like in real life. What we try to fit in rational boxes but never fits. What just flows along, on its own journey.

Location : South Building ( lobby)

Satellite Exhibits
The Miami Institute of Photography is proud to showcase the photo exhibition “Latent Fissures” to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 29th anniversary of the reunification of Germany. Sponsored by the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany Miami. On November 2, the Miami Institute of Photography opens the exhibition “Latent Fissures”. A group of images that the Venezuelan photographer Jorge Andres Castillo took in Berlin in 1989 months before the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Thirty years have passed since that historic November 9, when a big crowd of GDR citizens crossed the border that divided East and West Berlin for 28 years. These images will allow the observer to view the past and see the city of Berlin as captured by Jorge Andres Castillo, who was studying at the University of Essen in West Germany at the time. “On April 1989, I made this trip, and I had the opportunity to photograph the Berlin Wall on the western side and even cross to the eastern side for a day... I was able to register the socialist aesthetic when nobody could glimpse the cracks behind the Iron Curtain”, said Castillo. The selection also features images taken a few days after the opening of the border. At that time, the artist not only put his lens to capture the moment but also joined his hands to the crowd to disappear the Wall.
