From 22 February to 4 May 2025, the Mignon photography group celebrates 30 years of activity <\/b>with a series of exhibitions in Padua, retracing its journey in humanist and documentary photography. <\/p>\n
Founded in 1995, the collective has explored the relationship between man and the environment, drawing inspiration from the great masters of social photography, from the Farm Security Administration to the Photo League and the photojournalists of LIFE and Magnum.
Over time, Mignon has promoted meetings, courses and exhibitions, publishing over 30 books and taking its works to prestigious Italian and international venues.
For its 30th anniversary, in collaboration with the Municipality of Padua, it presents three exhibitions in symbolic locations in the city. <\/p>\n
