Following on from the success of their collaborations over the past two years, Innova Art has partnered with Cortona On The Move for the 2025 edition. Celebrating 15 years since the inception of the festival, Cortona On The Move will take place in Italy July 17th – November 2nd, 2025. Dedicated to photographic production, the festival is the point of reference for international photographers, curators, authors, critics and the public. Cortona On The Move focuses on documentary narrative. Examining themes that are contemporary and socially relevant. During the festival exhibits and events are held throughout the medieval Tuscan town of Cortona. For the 2025 edition, these exhibits have been curated under the theme of “Come Together.” Selected by artistic director Paolo Woods after realising the division in the world, each display explores why reconciliation is the only option and considers how to achieve it – socially, politically and personally. Many of these exhibits will be produced on Innova Art papers. A wide spectrum of surfaces have been utilised to bring each exhibition to life, from resin coated photo papers to matte archival inkjet fine art finishes. Printed by Center Chrome at their facility in Florence, each print has been produced with careful consideration. Following production of the printed surface, Center Chrome use their complimentary skills in mounting and framing to create the highest standard of finish for display. The process then passes over to the Cortona On The Move team who install the exhibits within the iconic buildings of the town itself. Ready for visitors to immerse themselves in the many stories on show and explore the vibrant community of Cortona. Cortona on the Move is open from July 17th – November 2nd 2025. Book [...]
