The PhotoVogue Festival, the first conscious fashion photography festival that focuses on the common ground between ethics and aesthetics, returns for its eighth edition. From March 6th to 9th, 2025, BASE Milano will host a series of exhibitions and talks analysing the interrelation between humans and Nature, and the relations of kinship we can create with animals, complemented by satellite events at the city s finest galleries.
Synopsis
Moderated by Jordan Anderson, a creative director and journalist with deep expertise in exploring race, gender, identity, and cultural ethics, this panel delves into the rich narratives of diaspora and representation. Featuring artists from The Tree of Life: A Love Letter to Nature and Latin America Panorama, the discussion unpacks the layered complexities of migration, identity, and cultural belonging.
The session will begin with The Story Behind the Image, where each artist—Laura Gauch, Sergio Pontier, Vilerx Perez, Ayomide Tejuoso, Fidelio Faustino, Ramona Wang, Carolina Arantes, Félix Márquez and Chris Perez—will present their work on stage, sharing personal stories and creative processes as their images are projected on a large screen.
Following the individual presentations, the panelists will join a group discussion to explore the intersections of culture, memory, and displacement. Their works traverse themes such as Afro-descendant identities in Mexico, diasporic reflections in fashion, and the complex interplay between personal and collective histories. Guided by Anderson’s insights, the conversation will highlight how visuals can challenge stereotypes, celebrate diversity, and reframe narratives, fostering understanding across borders.
