The 2023 Pierre & Alexandra Boulat Award has been awarded to Naples-based photographer Paolo Manzo to help him continue his ongoing project, The Invisible City, reporting on Naples’ social, economic, and cultural issues. His work aims to make visible the dark, dramatic side of financial inequality, social injustice, and urban segregation in Naples.
“I have spent years documenting the consequences and negative impact of ineffective policies and lack of intervention by institutions.”
Winning the ninth edition sponsored by LaScam, the grant money will support Manzo in continuing his photographic documentation and raise increased public awareness of the invisibility that envelops Naples.
About the Pierre & Alexandra Boulat Award
The Pierre & Alexandra Boulat Award, sponsored for the ninth time by LaScam (the collecting society for multimedia authors), is designed to help a photographer carry out an original reporting project through an 8,000€ endowment. The grant funds the production of a story that traditional media outlets have yet to support. The award was established by the Pierre and Alexandra Boulat Association to promote the creation of documentary work with a social purpose.
The award is presented to a professional photographer of any age, sex, or nationality who wishes to cover a social, economic, political, or cultural issue in a journalistic manner. The prize money is intended to support the production of a story that has never been told but that the photographer cannot find support for within the media.
