The Embassy of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition "Passages" by Massimiliano Gatti. 

Massimiliano Gatti's photographs explore the history of the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East not by reportage, but by a careful, poetic, archeological description that transforms artifacts into metaphor and ancient objects into contemporary commentary. The photographs of this exhibit are quiet meditations on violent transformations, and they are part of three Middle East Projects: In Superfice (On the Surface), Ruins and Tell Gomel and Jerwan.

This event marks the opening of the "Protecting Our Heritage" program of the European Union National Institute of Culture (EUNIC), and it is made possible with the support of the European Delegation to the USA and UNESCO.

The exhibit will remain on display at the Embassy until March 15, 2016. To view please request an appointment at iicwashington@esteri.it between Monday and Friday, 9:30AM to 4:30PM.

When: Thursday, February 4, 2015 at 7:00 pm
Where: Embassy of Italy - Auditorium, 3000 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington DC 20008

Doors open between 6:00 pm and 6:55 pm (Photo ID and Printed Ticket required)
