The Tamesis
With this vision, they opened the space gram! In Turin, exhibitions, workshops and lectures will be held to bring socially engaged photography to Italy – an already established tradition in Northern Europe and the UK. Through the method of practical reflection, the political discourse surrounding the image is transformed into tangible experience.
gram! will be a space open to the city and its inhabitants. It will host artist residencies focused on co-creation with the local community. Throughout the year, our library of curated photo albums and publications on collaborative photographic practices will be available by appointment.

The first exhibition is Cornuda of Tlacotapan Author: Emilio Nasser. The story is based on local legends from the city of Tlacotalpan in the Mexican state of Veracruz, intersecting with the imagination of the community. Some fishermen believe La Cornuda lives in the Papaloapan River; she is said to be a creature that appears and disappears, frightening people and carrying them away with her horns, causing them to disappear from the face of the earth. Nasser worked with the local community to reimagine and playfully reinterpret the myth: participants drew and wrote their own versions of the story, creating alternative endings.
