Cortona On The Move

Cortona On The Move is the international festival of contemporary photography held every summer in Cortona, with the aim of promoting new visions and original forms of visual communication.

Cortona On The Move has become a true experimentation center for the evolution of photographic language and has become one of the main Italian events in the sector for established photographers, amateurs and enthusiasts.

There are also original works chosen through the Cortona On the Move Open Call, the Happiness ONTHEMOVE international award, and other special open call.

The days of the festival see the most important photography professionals on the world scene, engaged in events, presentations, talks, workshops and portfolio reviews.

The Cortona On The Move exhibitions are set up in the historic buildings in the center of the town and in the Fortezza del Girifalco, the Medici fortress that overlooks Cortona.

The 14th edition of Cortona On the Move will take place from July 11 through November 3, 2024.

The theme of this edition, entitled “Body of Evidence”, is the body, one of the main subjects since the birth of photography: the body, to be discovered, to be exposed, to be observed; a place of pleasure but also of pain, vulnerable yet very powerful. Today more than ever before, it is the territory of all battles: identity, gender and political, individual or collective. The body that is commercialized, sanctified, celebrated, free and to be liberated, in a continuous fight against its end, namely death.

The exhibitions at Cortona on The Move will reveal the “Body of Evidence”, investigating all of its variations.

On the occasion of the Opening (July 11 - 14) lots of events are planned throughout the city, including several workshops designed for children (July 11 and 12, all morning at Palazzo Bandinelli).

Alongside the exhibitions, the festival offers a series of educational activities dedicated to both professional and aspiring photographers. Four workshops, from July 14 to 18.

The Cortona on The Move program also focuses on children, with some interesting and fun initiatives at Palazzo Baldelli.
