Spazio Gerra was created as a space dedicated to photography and the contemporary image, closely connected with the activities of Fotografia Europea, the cultural project organised for the past few years by Reggio Emilia Town Council. SpazioGerra will be an emblematic centre for Fotografia Europea and a space for direct contact with the experience and its protagonists, as well as a centre of collective appropriation of the results achieved. The meeting room and the guestrooms provide an opportunity to exploit to the full the presence of photographers, artists and curators involved in various initiatives and share this with a wider public. The multimedia room will allow people to consult the archives of the work that has become part of the town collection.

SpazioGerra is an area for meeting and debates. It is not merely a place for discussions, conferences, screenings and meetings, but a kind of constant exhibition of contrasting materials with different contributions, disciplines, categories and habits.
