La cura dell'arte | Sofia Uslenghi | TEDxLUCCA
Art has existed for as long as humanity itself; the creative impulse is a necessity of the soul.What can art do for us? Whether for the creator or the observer, it can have a therapeutic effect. It confronts us with our shared human condition, fostering empathy for our fears and stirring emotions that, without a single word, express what we often struggle to verbalize. Nasce a Reggio Calabria e cresce tra Messina e Brescia, per poi trasferirsi a Parma e infine a Milano. Inizia a usare la macchina fotografica a vent’anni, dedicandosi all’autoritratto come strumento di autoanalisi, esplorando il rapporto con il proprio corpo e l’estetica del femminile.
Le sue opere si evolvono per raccontare il senso di spaesamento e nostalgia creatosi attraverso i numerosi spostamenti, intrecciando autoritratti, mappe e fotografie di famiglia, per ricostruire una storia personale fatta di radici e migrazione.
Le sue mostre hanno raggiunto Paris Photo e Photo London, e dal 2023 Sky Arte le dedica una monografia nella serie Le Fotografe. Nel 2024, nella personale Casa/Terra/Io alla Galleria Lampo, ricrea spazi domestici che evocano un “nomadismo malinconico” e universale.
