October 23-25, 2026 - Trieste, Italy

Trieste Photo Days è un festival internazionale dedicato alla fotografia urbana che dal 2014 esplora la contemporaneità attraverso tutte le forme di fotografia ambientate nel tessuto cittadino. Il festival si è affermato negli anni come contenitore creativo crossmediale che riunisce mostre di artisti italiani e stranieri, workshop, proiezioni, contest, presentazione di libri, incontri e altri even

ti collegati alla fotografia di strada, alla fotografia architettonica e alla fotografia artistica. Un luogo d’incontro e scambio tra il pubblico e i fotografi, professionisti e amatoriali. Denominatore comune è la Città, l’ambiente urbano e l’umanità che lo popola: la vita quotidiana delle metropoli e dei piccoli centri abitati, i contrasti e le contraddizioni della città e della provincia, gli scorci artistici, le geometrie architettoniche, i frammenti di colore che spezzano il grigiore cittadino. Obiettivo del festival è promuovere un tipo di fotografia portatrice di valore artistico, documentale, etnografico e sociologico, che offra testimonianza dell’oggi. Uno spaccato di contemporaneità urbana in grado di parlare dei cambiamenti sociali che avvengono nella grande città come nel piccolo villaggio. Trieste Photo Days si avvale della direzione artistica di Angelo Cucchetto, event planner, pubblicitario, critico e promotore fotografico milanese, fondatore di Photographers.it, principale portale italiano dedicato alla fotografia nonché media partner ufficiale del festival. Ideatore e capofila del progetto è dotART, associazione culturale che dal 2009 promuove, sul territorio e all’estero, iniziative orientate a dare supporto e visibilità ai fotografi professionisti e amatoriali. In particolare, dotART promuove dal 2010 il concorso internazionale di fotografia urbana URBAN Photo Awards, che è tra i principali “serbatoi culturali” del festival. URBAN Photo Awards infatti, vede ogni anno migliaia di foto in gara e centinaia di partecipanti da tutto il mondo. È un contest di respiro internazionale in continua crescita, uno dei pochi a “varcare i confini” del web offrendo ai fotografi una reale visibilità attraverso decine di mostre fotografiche itineranti in giro per il mondo. Solo nel 2017, URBAN ha allestito 28 mostre per quasi 600 foto esposte, 300 delle quali nel corso di Trieste Photo Days. Dal 2011 URBAN ha allestito mostre in Polonia (Cracovia, Lodz e Varsavia), Ungheria (Budapest, Pècs e Miskolc), Cipro (Limassol, Paphos e Nicosia), Serbia (Belgrado) Lettonia (Riga), Slovenia (Capodistria), Ucraina (Sumy), Croazia (Parenzo), Germania (Berlino), Colombia (Bucaramanga) e Italia (Trieste e Roma). L’ambizione è di dare vita a una manifestazione internazionale con cadenza annuale, che miri a diventare un punto di riferimento in Italia e in Europa.

Artist Spotlight with Marina D**o 📸

Marina D**o is an Italian photographer and artist who lived in London for many years. After a career in the fashion industry, she chose to embrace a new perspective and dedicate herself to photography, embarking on a creative journey shaped by images, stories, and a deep curiosity about the world around her. ✨

In this interview, Marina shares her artistic journey and the inspiration behind her series Animal Cosmo.

Created during her travels across South America, from the Amazon rainforest to Patagonia, the project explores animals not simply as photographic subjects, but as symbolic figures: spirits, messengers and meaningful presences deeply rooted in local Indigenous cultures.

Animal Cosmo was featured in URBAN ANIMALS, the international Exhibit Around project presented at Trieste Photo Days 2025.

Artist Spotlight+ with Ekaterina Frolova

Ekaterina Frolova is a documentary photographer whose educational background spans cultures and continents. She holds a degree in Languages and Area Studies from Lomonosov Moscow State University, a Master's degree in Photography and Design from ELISAVA in Barcelona, and has also studied at TSEKH in Saint Petersburg, the New York Film Academy and West Virginia University.

Her work explores the dynamic relationship between people, space and environment, often focusing on young people as a source of hope and resilience.

In 2024, she won the first edition of the Patricia D. Richards Award, a special prize within the URBAN Photo Awards dedicated to photographers under 35, with Young Cuba, a photographic project that offers an intimate and contemporary look at the lives of young Cubans, capturing their culture, aspirations and everyday challenges.

The award paved the way for a fellowship that, under the mentorship of Denis Curti, led to the creation of Border Stories.

Developed between Nova Gorica (Slovenia) and Gorizia (Italy), the European Capitals of Culture 2025, Border Stories explores the concept of borders by engaging with the people who live alongside them and seeking to understand what the border represents in their daily lives.

Border Stories has since become a photobook, and the photographs were exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Trieste Photo Days Festival 2025.

In this Artist Spotlight, Ekaterina reflects on what receiving the award meant to her, how the project that earned her the recognition came to life, and how her collaboration with Denis Curti accompanied her through a new phase of artistic growth.
