Vedere l’arcobaleno is the photographic reportage promoted by EDGE, in support of Casa Arcobaleno, a Spazio Aperto Servizi project born in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan, which offers hospitality to young LGBTQIA+ people separated or discriminated against by their family of origin. The reportage is the result of a year of work alongside the people welcomed and the Casa Arcobaleno team. A journey of listening and sharing that has allowed us to convey, through images, the strength and complexity of their stories. The initiative was born with a dual objective: to raise funds for Casa Arcobaleno and to contribute to the diffusion of a culture based on respect, hospitality, and inclusion.
