Flaminio is a project by Studio Tej about the suburb of Northern Rome, Flaminio.
Flaminio is home to internationally famous landmarks such as Zaha Hadid’s MAXXI gallery, yet it is also a quiet neighbourhood with local businesses and homes. The area is hugely popular with tourists, yet they rarely stray from the iconic sites, ignoring the local aspects. Plus local residents have no relationship to the global institutions. We explored bridging this gap through this project, connecting people to the real Flaminio.
10 cameras were given to 10 locals living and working in Flaminio to document their life in Flaminio, creating a collection of local artworks.
This book depicts the project with a text and images of the contributors and also an insert of a selection of the artworks.
