Guided tour: “Edith Tudor Hart: Between Photography and Espionage”
With Con Vittoria Mainoldi, curatrice della mostra
To mark the L’Eredità delle Donne 2026 festival in Bologna, Reggio Emilia, Ravenna and at the historic venue in Florence, from 20 to 25 November 2026, Palazzo Pepoli invites you to discover the exhibition “Edith Tudor-Hart – between photography and espionage” on an exclusive guided tour led by its curator, Vittoria Mainoldi.
Housed within the premises of Palazzo Pepoli, home to the Museum of the History of Bologna, from 24 October 2026 to 28 February 2027, the exhibition – the first retrospective in Italy on the work of the Anglo-Austrian photographer – comprises over 100 photographs, organised into five sections – from social poverty to the political events of her time, from observations of everyday life to images of workers, right through to children as key figures in society – whilst also focusing on her role as a Soviet agent and the many motivations behind this choice.
