The selected works and artists of LIVING THE NATURE will be featured from 11 to 17 December 2017.

Photographers and all the artists are invited to submit their photographies related to the theme: LIVING THE NATURE.

PARTICIPATION is FOR FREE!

THEME

Nature is everything that surrounds us. In a strictly sense, also human actions are part of the Nature. But they are everyday more impactful, and the world itself is changing faster than ever before.

We live in an era of great environmental changes. And the mankind is often responsible for the destruction of the nature as well as for the saving programs. We all swing between natural catastrophes and holidays into the wild.

LIVING THE NATURE is focused on all the kind of relationships among the man and the Nature, from the peaceful untouched or preserved places, in which the Nature can still express itself alone, to the strong modifications that the human beings did and are still doing on natural landscapes.

Is still the nature our primordial shelter? How does we live the nature today?

Different possibilities in different parts of the world, for different kind of people.

Artists, photographers and all the art professionals and lovers are invited to submit their photos about LIVING THE NATURE‘s theme to show and to share their visions on the contemporary ways to live in and with the Nature.
