Notes on Migration is a long-term project that aims to shed further light on the migration process from West Africa to Europe. In 2022, Borgarello embarked on the Ocean Vikings with the SOS Méditerranée rescue team where he took these images.
TEEN4TEEN – A photography project on promoting adolescents’ mental well-being, created for the SPES Program – University of Turin and Social Community Theatre Centre. Curated by Chiara Agostinetto and Fabrizio Stasia, photographs by Chiara Agostinetto.
Both exhibitions are free and open to the public from May 30 to June 2, h 10:00-20:00.
