Songs for a Revolution

April 28, 2011/ Marco Secchi

Music and songs have always been very important in wars and revolutions. The one below are from the youth generation of the Middle East. To my brothers and sisters, on this Thursday night...ahead of a Friday of new violence and repression in the middle east on fire in search of freedom....when all the capitalistic eyes are towards a barely recognizable London - turned into a capital of mass hysteria inhabited by flag-wielding crazies...Keep on rising Keep on resisting!

Sout Al Horeya (Song: Voice of Freedom/in Egypt)

Bayan Ra2am Wa7ed (English Subs) from Syria

Shofaa Nubakaa Huna (We Shall Stay Here) Nasheed on Libya

El général, the voice of Tunisia, english subtitles

Whispers of tradition echo along the canals of Venice at the historic Squero di San Trovaso, where the art of gondola craftsmanship sails through time. 🛠️🚣‍♂️ I took this photograph a few days ago during a private 2-day photography masterclass here in Venice #Venice #SqueroDiSanTrovaso #GondolaBuilding #ItalianTradition #CanalLife #VenetianCraftsmanship #Gondola #TravelItaly #ExploreVenice #Waterways #CulturalHeritage

A gondolier rows his gondola with a bunch of red roses on April 25th. During Republican times, it was tradition that on April 25th (St Mark's holy day), a red rose blossom be offered to one's beloved as a token of love. The tradition allegedly started with Maria, daughter of the Doge Angelo Partecipazio, who fell in love with young Tancredi. #25thApril #sanmarco #venice #roses #boccolo https://www.marcosecchi.org/gallery-image/Gondole-and-Gondolieri/G0000ULGKpVuwBuo/I0000.7GtoDDXiAo/C0000mW6Rx_WPOnE

Venice basking in sunlight ... definitely not the case right now :-( I'm wandering through one of the serene neighbourhoods in the Castello district, not far from Arsenale and Giardini, the two iconic Biennale venues. #venice #photography #workshops #marcosecchi #leica

At the edge of art's unfolding drama, a man and his loyal companion pause in silent critique. While the others contemplate the tangled whispers of modern art, the duo stands as quiet observers of the spectacle. A moment of stillness amidst the curious gazes at the Biennale's press preview. 🐾🎨 BiennaleEncounters #ManAndHisDog #ArtInBlackAndWhite

Just wrapped up four great days at the Biennale Arte 2024 press preview! 📸✨ 'Work better, work less' truly embodied my experience—packed with laughter, new and old friendships, and quite a dose of challenges, not to mention the most financially profitable :-). Feeling grateful for the blend of fun, friendships, and photographic success that made this event unforgettable. Here's to more moments where work feels less like work and more like passion! 🥂 #BiennaleArte2024 #ArtPhotography #WorkBetterWorkLess

For this year's Biennale Arte 2024, I've been commissioned to create nine black-and-white portraits of artists, curators, and commissioners. It's been both a challenging and incredibly fun assignment. These images will be featured progressively throughout the Biennale Exhibition in a prominent international magazine. . #BiennaleArte2024 #ArtPortraits #BlackAndWhitePhotography #ArtWorld #ContemporaryArt #PhotographyIsArt #ArtExhibition #BehindTheScenes #VisualArts #ArtMagazine
