This year's talks will take place in a hybrid form: live in the physical space at Base Milano and recorded and stremead on the Festival's platform. The panelists ranging from artists to leading figures in the photographic industry, will be at Base or connected digitally to the panel. All the talks will be recorded and available on photovoguefestival.vogue.it. The "ask me anything" panels of Saturday November the 20th will be live streamed on the platform to give you the opportunity to ask questions in real time.
In line with the mission of the festival, the focus of the talks of this edition will range from photojournalism to fashion photography.
The talks will explore current issues such as diversity and inclusivity not only in terms of the subject of the stories we tell but also in terms of who is telling those stories, the gatekeepers, the decision makers, disability, LGBTQIA+!, the influence of Instagram in Photography, visual literacy and much more.
