What Bags Narrate - Cultures, habits and societies in the images of an international reportage

After the presentation at the Triennale of Milan the project - What bags narrate - coninues its diffusion in other important international venues of culture, fashion and business. The project What bags narrate, promoted by the Francesco Biasia - italian leather accessory company - started last year in occasion of its thirty anniversary, is part of a wider path of cultural communication chosen by the company. The central knot of this project is an international reportage committed to five important photographers: Francesco Cocco, Fabio Cuttica, Daniele Dainelli, Stefano De Luigi e Riccardo Venturi.

They have been charged to enlight the different and contrasting cultural and social environments of five chosen areas - Italy, Colombia, Japan, Iran and Namibia - focusing on the bags of local women. For this reason the bags are presented not only as simple accessories - focusing on their material, shape and content - but also as messages, objects to show off, objects that belong to the history of their people. The results of this reportage - written and narrated by Annalisa Monfreda - have been published in the book What bags narrate and presented by an exhibition at the Triennale of Milan which has been very appreciated by public and critics.
