About Erika Cei

I'm an experienced professional photographer, based in Trieste.
In 2013 I was awarded by Foundry Photojournalism during a workshop in Sarajevo for the work “A time for gypsies” about a Rom family in Sarajevo.
In 2014 I was awarded as Author of the year by FIFA FVG in Italy for the work Accademia della follia, una commedia in tre atti (Academy of madness - a comedy in three acts).
In addition to some works published in Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso and Il reportage, I had a series of exhibitions, including:
Accademia della follia, una commedia in tre atti (Pordenone, 2014), a work about a theatre group of people with mental disorders; Su mare grega - James Joyce (Dublin, 2016), a work about James Joyce in Trieste;
La meta (Pordenone, 2016), a work about the refugees who come to Italy through the Balkan route;
Ferriera (Trieste, 2016, 2017), a work about people living near a very polluting steel plant in Italy.
Later on I began to deal with art photography and in particular with self-portraits.
