Hello everyone, I am Corrado Pegoretti, I live in Trento and I grew up with a passion for photography. I was selected to participate in this exhibition, what a pleasure!
The possibilities of preserving Deaf Culture and handing it down over time are key aspects. Photos, videos, films are all important tools to document and witness our History, from the past to the present day. I remember for example inside the Padua Institute that I attended, a collection of large black and white photographs of the Authority, of Magarotto: I think they are a way to honor our history and it is always important to be able to do that.
I don't know any museum realities about Deaf Culture. When I heard about this call, I think it's the first one dealing with it, I was intrigued and wanted to participate. The Archaeological Museum of Murlo, a historical museum then, opening up to a new experience by hosting this photographic exhibition is really a sign of openness, a different approach to culture and integration.
The opening of this exhibition will be really interesting.
I am Deaf, I attended an institute for the Deaf, but part of my schooling was also with hearing people. ko I was able to observe two different worlds, two different cultures.
And that also means using sight differently; we are able to "catch" much more with our eyes.
This exhibition will certainly be an enriching opportunity for everyone.
