Again and again, my work returns to places of transition: communities in exile, landscapes shaped by political change, family histories crossing borders.
Rather than moments of departure or arrival, I am interested in what people create in between: everyday rituals, relationships, memories and new forms of belonging.
Roberta Corregia is an Italian photographer whose practice brings together documentary photography, vernacular archives and personal narratives to investigate memory, belonging and the ways images shape our understanding of ourselves and others.
Her work moves between personal experience and historical research, often combining photographs, family archives, found materials and writing. Rather than documenting places or communities, her projects explore how identities are constructed, inherited and transformed through images, relationships and collective memory.
She holds a degree in Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa from the University of Turin. Her recent research has focused on contemporary Indian photography, visual culture and the politics of representation, interests that continue to inform her artistic practice.
She lives and works in Asti/Torino, Italy.
