Saturday 28 January 2023, at the Historical Archive of the City; of Palermo in via Maqueda 157, in a really crowded Almeyda hall, the Collettivof was presented to the city, together with the manifesto which the members of the collective bring forward and which they propose as their approach to research in the field of photographic and visual culture.
During the presentation, the members of the Collettivof also shared the Review of photographic exhibitions of 2023, all scheduled at the Historical Archive.

Yesterday there were so many of you!
So numerous, we are moved!
It's beautiful when commitment, even after some effort, translates into gratification.
A BIG gratification!
For many reasons, this doesn't happen often. Everyone's haste, distraction, work, family commitments... Cold, rain or excessive heat generally take us away from all those moments that require us to stop for a moment to breathe into our thoughts, letting ourselves be stimulated by art.
But yesterday you were with us at the historical archive of the Municipality of Palermo, getting involved in a proposal of emotion and reflection.
Why? This is what the members of Collettivof have promised first of all to themselves and therefore also to you: emotion and reflection to be experienced together!
We hope to live up to the promise.
Personally, perhaps due to aginig, I wondered how I intended to spend the rest of my life.
The answer is simple: I want to live in the midst of things and people who give me joy.
Photography, art and you! Thanks!
Anna Fici - Artistic Director of the Collectivef
