Davide Degano is participating in a residency organized by Associazione Menti Libere, Imanalab Institute and Artinea. The residency is part of the MigrArt project: unfolding the border, as part of the go!2025, with the support of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.
Davide Degano (Ro. 1990) is a visual artist who explores in his practice how images co-create memory, identity and collective imagination. Born in Sicily and raised in Friuli, with Italian and Colombian roots and Slovenian family heritage, he persistently explores border areas in his practice – both geographical and symbolic.
He graduated in Visual Arts from the Royal Academy of Arts (KABK) in The Hague, where he received an honorable mention for the Paul Schuitema prize, as well as a master's degree in photography from KASK – the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. For his master's thesis, he was awarded the Roger de Con Animtnck fund prize.
His work has been featured in a number of international venues, including Fotografia Europea (Reggio Emilia), Encontros da Imagem (Braga) and Biennale Rencontres photographs amatures de Gu 6thane. His first photobook, Schiavanie (Penisola Edizioni, 2022), received the Li Alguida Grant award.

Davide Degano (roj. 1990) je vizualni umetnik, ki v svoji praksi raziskuje, kako podobe soustvarjajo spomin, identiteto in kolektivno imaginacijo. Rojen na Siciliji in odraščal v Furlaniji, z italijanskimi in kolumbijskimi koreninami ter slovensko družinsko dediščino, v svoji praksi vztrajno raziskuje obmejna območja – tako geografska kot simbolna.
Diplomiral je iz vizualnih umetnosti na Kraljevi akademiji za umetnost (KABK) v Haagu, kjer je prejel častno omembo za nagrado Paul Schuitema, ter magistriral iz fotografije na KASK – Kraljevi akademiji lepih umetnosti v Gentu. Za svoje magistrsko delo je prejel nagrado sklada Roger De Conynck.
Njegovo delo je bilo predstavljeno na številnih mednarodnih prizoriščih, med drugim na Fotografia Europea (Reggio Emilia), Encontros da Imagem (Braga) in Biennale Rencontres Photographiques de Guyane. Njegova prva fotoknjiga Schiavanie (Penisola Edizioni, 2022) je prejela nagrado Liquida Grant.
