Since 2021, Rencontres de la photographie en Gasp\u00e9sie has been collaborating with the Italian Cultural Institute in Montreal<\/a> and various Italian festivals such as Cortona On The Move<\/a> and the Gibellina Photoroad Festival<\/a>. This partnership fosters artist mobility and strengthens exchanges between Qu\u00e9bec and Italy, while allowing both Italian and Gaspesian audiences to discover different approaches to contemporary photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian Artists in the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula and Qu\u00e9bec Artists in Italy<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, several Italian photographers have been invited to present their work as part of the festival: Valeria Luongo<\/a> in 2021; Alessandra Cal\u00f2<\/a> in 2022; Ilaria Abbiento<\/a> and Roselena Ramistella<\/a> in 2023; Luana Rigolli<\/a> in 2024; and Davide Degano<\/a> in 2025. On the Qu\u00e9bec side, the work of artists Jessica Auer<\/a>, Cince Johnston<\/a>, Eliane Excoffier<\/a> and Sarah Boutin<\/a> has been presented in Italy through partner festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These exchanges have also given rise to artist residencies and a publication combining photography and poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Publication Born from a Residency<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Published in Italy by Danilo Montanari Editore<\/strong>, the book emerged from a meeting between two artistic sensibilities. Invited for a residency by Rencontres de la photographie en Gasp\u00e9sie in 2024, photographer Alessandra Cal\u00f2<\/a> asked residents of Baie-des-Chaleurs to entrust her with their family albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From these vintage photographs, the artist created new compositions imbued with memory and visual poetry. Inspired by those images, author France Cayouette<\/a> composed a series of poems blending realism and dreamlike elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, Italian artist Luana Rigolli<\/a> presented her exhibition Isole Nere<\/em> in Pasp\u00e9biac. Building on this collaboration, she will be welcomed in autumn 2026 in Magdalen Islands by our partner AdMare<\/a>, a center for contemporary arts, for an artist residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work produced during this residency will be presented in 2027 during the 18th edition of Rencontres de la photographie en Gasp\u00e9sie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exchanges That Continue<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

By circulating artists, works and ideas between Qu\u00e9bec and Italy, this partnership helps enrich practices and perspectives on contemporary photography<\/strong>. It also forges lasting ties between artistic communities and offers the public new opportunities for encounters and discoveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
