Festival Nomadica

Nomadica is a nine-week photography festival dedicated to travel as a practice of observation, exploration, and narration of the world—particularly Europe—through the lens of those who travel, observe, and traversed places, revealing their souls. It's not just about taking vacation photographs, but about capturing the essence of the places you encounter, the changes they bring, the invisible connections between people, landscapes, and other cultures. Photography thus becomes a powerful tool for bridging different worlds, generating awareness, and stimulating new interpretations of the present: something that seems absolutely necessary in this time of great turbulence.The thematic core of Nomadica 2025 is the journey across Europe: a shared space made up of stories, communities, architecture, shared tensions and beauties, and, ultimately, a shared feeling.The event will take place in the historic center of Viterbo in August and September 2025, with a comprehensive program of photography exhibitions by both Italian and international artists, public meetings, thematic workshops aimed at engaging the local population, with a particular focus on children, the disabled, and the elderly, and photography competitions.Each event is designed to be accessible, inclusive, and widespread.Nomadica is an invitation to slow down, to walk with curiosity, to listen to the silence of places, and to let the stories of others resonate.A section of Nomadica will be dedicated to photographers from 12 different European Union countries. Their works will offer fresh perspectives on living and moving in Europe today, helping to create a cohesive and transnational image of our continent. In this way, the Festival promotes a visual reflection on what unites the peoples of Europe: their cultural richness, shared heritage, intertwined history, but also their common challenges.
