Heritage Through a Lens

Exploring cultures through lenses! Long term degree students recently visited Rifugio Digitale, an innovative photography exhibit here in Florence. Featuring 'Homecoming' by Kalpesh Lathigra, the display offered diverse perspectives on India's beauty and challenges as a country.

How Waves Connect Laura Fauzzi to Her Art

Divided into two sections, the exhibit features Laura Fauzzi's black and white ink pieces and colorful acrylic paintings. Inspired by dance and human energy, her art captures both fluidity and emotion. Originally from Sweden, Fauzzi now resides in Florence, where her work can be viewed in Corridoio Fiorentino until April 10th.
