When speaking with Jai Toor in 2020 he told us about his project Yet Another Day – a documentation of family life lensed through the daily happenings of his grandparents it was this particular phrase that struck a chord: “photography is more than just a picture” Applying this to his wider work in general the London-based photographer has a knack for highlighting personal histories and memories from those closest to him as well as communities from further afield And his latest series Novellara simply proves this fact Novellara was borne after Jai learned that Italy has the second largest population of Sikhs outside of the UK He became intrigued and wondered why they chose Italy as their destination “I wanted to see how the first and second generation communities live in rural pockets of Italy.” As such he started researching further into the topic and discovered that a large portion of the Sikh Indian immigrants have moved for jobs in farming and the dairy industry most of which went to work in factories and others in the circus media representation has been warped with negative portrayals of these communities “Media representation surrounding Sikh and South Asian diaspora within Italy is centred around similar themes,” he adds "Many stories surround negative news or focus on topics like religion Meanwhile, after a recent farmers’ protest in India – where many Sikhs were uprising against new agriculture laws set by the Indian government – this provoked Jai to go a little further “I wanted to see if this was the case or if the narrative has changed over the years and how it correlates to the mass wave of immigration to the UK which my grandparents were part of.” you’ll see his subjects looking directly into the lens adopting a gaze so deep that their lives are somewhat revealed through the powerful act of eye contact The landscape shots are dominated by architectural structures personal and immensely intimate – an antithesis to what is commonly represented in the media Having visited Bologna and Reggio Emilia in the beginning – the closest town to Novellara – Jai explains how the process behind the project seemed to evolve spontaneously but most memorable was his interaction with two local boys They began telling me about the history of the town and even showed me around.” The boys told Jai about their family “The fact that everyone I spoke to did not mention exploitation once made me question the locals and how they felt living in Italy,” he says “All responses mentioned how they had been getting treated fairly and that life in Italy was amazing; the ground was exactly like Punjab for farming quality of life was better and the community was quite tight-kit The boys also mentioned learning Italian at school and embedding into the school was a wholesome experience.” Jai hopes to shed light on immigration stories and the importance of listening to others things aren’t always what they seem – especially in relation to what’s depicted in the media – and immigration is a subject matter that tends to be exploited greatly but when that’s the only thing the stories are focused around “I hope to go back and visit this summer and continue the body of work There are so many follow-up questions I want to ask.” Jai Toor: Gurinder Sarpanch and Inderveer Singh Further Infowww.jaitoor.com www.instagram.com/jaiitoor Ayla Angelos

1587) is returning to the great 16th-century painter’s hometown of Novellara: it is Leda and the Swan a painting that has been returned to the Gonzaga Museum in Novellara which has been specially renovated to house the work by Lelio Orsi which returned to Emilia after a complex affair that lasted more than 15 years granted on deposit by the Ministry of Culture has been on display at the museum since last April 6.Of this painting by Lelio Orsi an oil on copper measuring 43x30 centimeters that Reggio Emilia residents had last had a chance to admire in early 1988 thanks to an exhibition dedicated to the great Emilian mannerist at the municipal theater when it was sold by New York auction house Sotheby’s for more than a million dollars embarked on a dispute that turned into a kind of mystery similar to those narrated in the novels written by Carlo Fruttero together with the writer Franco Lucentini in 1988 was the owner of Orsi’s masterpiece exhibited in Reggio Emilia The work remained in Lucentini’s house until 2002 the reappearance on the market six years later that provoked the intervention of the Carabinieri of the Nucleo Tutela Patrimonio Culturale who ascertained the illicit exit of the work which was returned to the Italian state following its return One of Lucentini’s heirs sold the work to an antiquarian who without having obtained the necessary authorizations and from there it then arrived in the United States purchased in the meantime by the collector who auctioned it in 2008 The affair was finally resolved with the confiscation of the work shortly after the auction: after its return to Italy Leda and the Swan remained in storage for a long time at the Command of the Nucleo Tutela Patrimonio Culturale of the Carabinieri in Rome the City of Novellara strongly urged that the masterpiece be housed at the Gonzaga Museum The Ministry of Culture has issued a favorable opinion subject to an agreement between the Emilia-Romagna Regional Directorate of Museums and the municipality to ensure the work’s maximum appreciation The agreement covers the restoration of the masterpiece’s pictorial film and improvements to the Gonzaga Museum The renovation of the museum’s layout of which the Region contributed 42,000 euros the project revolutionized the spaces designated for permanent exhibition by intervening on lighting The main interventions were focused on the most significant rooms of the museum: those dedicated to the figure of Lelio Orsi and the collection of the Jesuit Spezieria Vases The improvement of didactic and information devices was designed to make the contents accessible to different categories of visitors Derby atmosphere that also brings good luck to the Novellara who conquers the "Rinaldi" of Reggiolo in the English style, reconquering the First category after 15 years. For the boys of trainer Bruno Prandi, the former Zaniboni and the striker Brocchetta scored. Angry poker (4-2) of the Celtic Cavriago (for Cavriago pallonara it is the second championship won after the seal in Third of the cousins ​​of Sporting two weeks ago that cancels the same number of tumbles of last year) on Cerredolese stretched by Rispoli, Boretti, Riella and Dallaglio that mean immediate return to the upper floor for the black and greens of the coach Luisito Reggiani. For the locals Rivi and the striker Guido Guidetti shorten the distances. Virtus Libertas fell in Modena, defeated (0-1) by Corlo and joined in second place by FalkGalileo: on Sunday, ironically, the city derby of Cella will put the silver medal of group C up for grabs. The Falketti overcome (3-1) Povigliese thanks to a sprint start marked by the diagonal of Redo who grants the encore of a header on a corner of Iaquinta. The guests who shorten with the penalty of Signoriello, but at the end the new-entered Grotti nets with a flat from a cross of Arcuri. Allai's shot to the top of the table marks Guastalla's away win over Daino Santa Croce: a goal that keeps the play-off flame alight. A season in 5' for Atletic Progetto Montagna who almost took the lead, didn't win the corner and on the counterattack Boca Barco managed the lethal counterattack in the 90th minute with Muredda who sealed their salvation. Still in the running Campeginese beats (4-2) the Original Celtic Bohys condemning them to the first relegation in their history. For the locals double by Mungiguerra, singles by Frignani and Bettati inspired by a solo by Tagliavini; for the black and greens provisional draw signed by Sakho from eleven meters and by Obeng on a corner twenty minutes from the gong. Virtus Mandrio's feat stops San Prospero Correggio's winning streak at 11, stung in the 94th minute by Lambruschini's deflection on the second post; the yellow-greens thus secure third place. Internal hara-kiri for Santos 1948 surprised by Rubiera and thus condemned to the play-out against Virtus Bagnolo: a lightning-fast counter-attack by Montorsi was unblocked, cancelled out by Carfagna's header, then in the second half Arleoni scored an assist from Carubbi, but the disaster was concocted in injury time with Lambruschini's equaliser and Fisic's counter-attack to overtake. In group D, United Albinea and Fellegara are celebrating with poker scores in view of the direct clash on Sunday at the "Nasi" with second place currently in the hands of the Albinetans at +3 points. The yellow-greens conquer Casina thanks to Sassi, the two-goal scorer Ferrante (decisive at 0-1 with a save on the line in a slide) and the euro-goal from 20 meters by Margini. Fellegara's task was much easier as they crushed Borzanese with doubles by Campani and Brusciano. At the bottom of the table, a vital success for Puianello who tamed (2-1) Roteglia thanks to Kokolari's shot to the top corner and Tessitori's touch; in the middle, Borrelli's provisional equaliser from the penalty spot. In the third category, the tandem Rivalta-Vetto continues to advance arm in arm, overtaking an increasingly troubled Cavriago into second place. A distracted and experimental Sporting Cavriago slips at home (2-3) with Fogliano thus defending eighth place thanks to Malagutti's free kick, Iardino's invention and Rinaldi's penalty. Redeghieri and Sonko are closing the gap for the leaders. when we devour a slice of pizza with molten mozzarella on top or shaved parmesan on our pasta the reality is there is a far more important connection between these cheese 5 min readPublished 23 February 2016 5:23pm This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page The away match of the team opens the programme at 19pm Clevertech Montecchio (18) in Argenta (16): if Castellani's men want eighth place, they must now make the decisive sprint to reach it.

The playouts will also start in the evening with the Clevertech Montecchio on the field at 20pm in Sant'Ilario against Vignola, in a best of 3 series: the end of the season was bitter, because with another step direct salvation would have been within reach, but Germani and his teammates must immediately start off on the right foot against an opponent within reach. At 21pm it's the turn of Novellara Basketball, expected in Bologna by SG Fortitudo: the treatment by Tellini, who replaced Bertani during the season, has borne fruit, but now is the time to reap them, starting to snatch the advantage of home field advantage from the opponents. In the afternoon there will be a torchlight procession to remember the 18-year-old Pakistani Today, Tuesday 26 March, the funeral of Saman Abbas "This was a long-awaited moment because somehow between Saman's disappearance it is as if today's funeral closed a chapter Our commitment and desire to do more for girls like Saman necessarily remains open but at the same time we close this story by giving it a dignified burial Being able to give people a place to remember her is important to us anyone who wants to bring her a flower and dedicate a thought or prayer to her will be able to do so in a dignified place where we will try to preserve her memory." he has declared Elena Carletti The first citizen spoke on the topic of forced marriages which pushed us to mobilize to raise awareness of this topic especially since reports and concerns regarding the lives of many girls have inevitably increased” added the mayor “Remembering Saman means taking an interest in the lives of the Saman we don't know The hope is that the community will always pay close attention to this issue I was amazed by the amount of people who approached me all potential grandmothers and grandfathers of this young girl Perhaps this murder entered the collective imagination because it was accompanied by very strong images I have found in many citizens the desire to be that family that she did not have and that betrayed her" he added Elena Carletti Notizie.it is a newspaper registered with the Court of Milan n.68 on 01/03/2018 Impara come descrivere lo scopo dell'immagine (si apre in una nuova scheda) Lascia vuoto se l'immagine è puramente decorativa
