Valentina Tamborra works and lives in Milan. Since the beginning attracted by the concept of borders: “maybe because my origins had to deal with a border, a limit a frontier.

Mother born in Friuli at few steps Slovenia and father in Puglia: I’ve learnt my first border from a stone in the forest between Italy and Slovenia. No distinction between worlds, different cultures and languages were a stimulus and a plus. Later on I learnt they can divide. So I decided to study the margins and I went around all over the world: Africa, Middle East, Arctic…. always looking for that limit… where the man can find a new way to survive.
