The second appointment of Pronti, Partenza, Punta! features photographer Claudia Corrent, on Sunday 14 June at 9:30 am.
Pronti, Partenza, Punta! is the new photography project by Palazzo Grassi that brings together a group of professional photographers active in Venice, inviting the public to rediscover the city starting from its heart: Punta della Dogana.
Located at the center of the San Marco basin, Punta della Dogana is one of Venice’s most iconic sites, a symbol of its history, a meeting point of different cultures, and a space in constant dialogue between past and present.
Participants are invited to observe the city from a new perspective. The sessions take place on the museum’s terraces, in an exclusive moment thirty minutes before opening to the public.
Each meeting includes a dedicated moment of discussion and photographic practice with selected photographers, who share their vision of the city, offering insights, suggestions, and small “secrets” for interpreting Venice according to one’s own sensibility.
At the end of each session, participants are invited to experiment in the city, to “point” their lens toward Punta della Dogana from wherever they are, and to share their shots with Palazzo Grassi. A selection of the images will be published on the museum’s social channels.
The ticket includes:
A 30-minute meeting with the photographer, in a closed museum setting, on the terraces of the Punta della Dogana viewpoint, exclusively opened for the group
An entry ticket valid for visiting the exhibitions at Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi
