After the period of forced closure due to the Covid-19 emergency, the Stelline Foundation has returned to be a protagonist of the Milanese art scene, focusing on contemporary photography. Reopening its doors continuing the appointment with Ganga Ma by Giulio Di Sturco, in fact, from November 3 to 22, 2020, it will host the photographic exhibition Skrei - The Journey by Valentina Tamborra, organized and promoted in collaboration with the Norwegian Seafood Council and with Tørrfisk fra Lofoten AS and curated by Roberto Mutti. On display are the shots - about 40, some of them in large format - by the Milanese photographer whose project revolves around the theme of travel, as emphasized by the title itself: skrei, in fact, is the name of a particular type of Norwegian cod and derives from an ancient Viking term that means precisely traveling in the sense of migrating, moving forward. This fish migrates every year from the Barents Sea to return to the northern part of the Norwegian coast where it will spawn. A journey of thousands of kilometers, therefore, like the one made by Valentina Tamborra with her photographic work, which starts from distant roots and takes a long tour to then find the points from which it started. Everything began in the Vatican Apostolic Library in Rome and in the National Marciana Library in Venice, where the testimonies of the adventurous story of the noble navigator Pietro Querini are preserved. The man, who survived the shipwreck of his carrack, arrived at the Lofoten Islands in 1432 and was rescued by local fishermen who made him discover and learn the methods of drying, preserving, and preparing cod, which he exported back to his Venice, marking the culinary fate of stockfish in Italian tradition.
