Impatti, in collaboration with the Cortona On The Move International Photography Festival
Open call for photography for the 12x12 project in collaboration with Cortona On The Move
++ Update: the call has been extended to July 10, 2025 ++
"Impatti" (Impacts) is an invitation to take a closer look at the impact that every movement leaves on the world
When we talk about impact, we often think of environmental impact: the effect that human activities have on nature, such as pollution, deforestation, or climate change
But impact is not limited to the natural environment
There is also a social impact, which manifests through changes in neighborhoods, communities, and relationships between people
Impact can be cultural, when traditions or habits change or are lost; it can be economic, when production and consumption choices change lives and territories
In short, impact is the sum of the signs, reactions, and mutations of our ever-evolving world
What are we looking for?
Photographs that tell the story of how humans influence and transform the territory and society
Some examples
The changes in a neighborhood where different generations or cultures live together
Nature resisting or adapting to human marks on a territory
Architectures that tell stories of communities and social transformations
Living in spaces, dietary habits, and radically changing landscapes
"Impatti" is an invitation to slow down to better understand
Every movement leaves a mark
Why do we do it?
Through photography, we want to bring to light how every action, every choice leaves a deep and lasting mark on the world around us
at and Cortona On The Move are looking for 11 photographers who have an unpublished idea or photographic project focused on the theme of impact, in all its various interpretations and nuances
The 11 selected projects will be featured in the fourth edition of 12x12, which will open with a new chapter of the "Atlas of the New World" project by Edoardo Delille and Giulia Piermartiri
The selected photographers will participate in a mentoring, support, and training program led by Simone Donati, curator of the fourth edition of 12x12, with the aim of developing, editing, expanding, and completing their photographic project
12x12 - the project
"12x12" is a photo call project created by Autolinee Toscane and Cortona On The Move.
For three years now, through 12x12, we have been telling the story of public transport from a new perspective, through the work of twelve male and twelve female photographers.
The story infolds on the @at_toscana Instagram account.
The bus is part of the community and the daily life of people and places, carrying the former and traveling through the latter. Sky-touching stops, childhood memories, suburbs, onboard documentaries, personal stories, portraits, landscapes, and views from the window have all taken turns in this collective narrative, created by young photographers in the first edition and by over-65 artists in the second.
Cortona On The Move – the project
The Cortona On The Move international photography festival has been held in Cortona, in the province of Arezzo, Tuscany, since 2011
