About Alpine Scenarios
Lombardy's Mountains at MUNAF
The MUNAF – National Museum of Photography in Cinisello Balsamo (Metropolitan City of Milan), at Villa Ghirlanda, hosts 'Alpine Scenarios. Landscapes and Communities of Lombardy', a group exhibition exploring the landscape and communities of the Lombardy mountains through the lens of contemporary art.
Seven Author Projects
The exhibition features seven projects by visual artists, selected through a museum call, which weave together photography, video, multimedia installations, and ethnographic research. The works investigate artisanal knowledge, the non-anthropocentric relationship with nature, transformations linked to the Winter Olympics, the role of women in alpine communities, and traditional rites in their contemporary form. Opening the exhibition is the work 'Rhônegletscher 02' by Walter Niedermayr, dedicated to the Rhone Glacier.
Towards Milan-Cortina 2026
Curated by Matteo Balduzzi with an installation designed by Studio Folder, the exhibition is part of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympics program. An opportunity to reflect, through art, on the meaning of the mountains and their communities in a symbolic year for Lombardy, confirming Cinisello Balsamo as a national hub for photography.
