“Remaining an observer—stepping outside the mindset of wanting to interpret, judge, or manipulate the atmosphere. For me, it is simply about representing it, letting things happen rather than trying to control them.”
Francesco Carvelli is a photographer, visual artist, and visual anthropologist. His work operates at the intersection of cultural strategy, territorial development, and ethnographic inquiry. He is the founder of RADICÆ, a cultural agency focused on fostering the identity-driven growth of small local businesses. His most recent project is the photographic and multimedia exhibition “Mothers of Marmo Platano – Stories of motherhood from the bedroom”, which involved seven municipalities in the Marmo Platano area. The exhibition explores the transmission of female memory, spaces of freedom, and women’s empowerment, taking the intimate symbolism of the bedroom as its starting point; it employs photography and audiovisual media not merely for aesthetic purposes, but as tools for social and territorial investigation.
