Dopo la scomparsa di Letizia Battaglia ad aprile, la Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero della Cultura vuole rendere omaggio ad un'altra importate personalità della fotografia italiana, Lisetta Carmi, che si è spenta oggi all'età di 98 anni.
Fino al 1960 la Carmi svolge un'importante carriera come pianista, nonostante le leggi razziali abbiano reso difficile il suo percorso di studi e l'abbiano costretta durante la guerra a spostarsi in Svizzera. Nel 1960 sceglie di chiudere con la sua attività di concertista perché non le permette di dare respiro ai suoi ideali e al bisogno di libertà che la animano. Inizia così il suo lavoro di fotografa, che porta avanti solo fino al 1984, quando abbraccia completamente la meditazione e fonda un ashram in Puglia.
Lisetta Carmi ci lascia un vastissimo archivio: i suoi scatti, sempre improntati alla ricerca della verità, rivelano uno sguardo attento e teso a comprendere cosa c'è dietro quello che intende immortalare. Oltre al suo intenso lavoro per denunciare lo sfruttamento del lavoro operaio e i movimenti di protesta, in Italia e in giro per il mondo, è stata tra le primissime a occuparsi in maniera radicale dell’identità di genere, in un periodo in cui questo tema era un tabù: nel 1972 le librerie rifiutarono addirittura di esporre il suo libro, pubblicato dalla casa editrice Essedì di Roma. La Carmi aveva iniziato a fotografare il mondo LGBTQ a Genova nel 1965 e il suo lavoro, "Travestiti", è oggi considerato un documento fondamentale nella storia della fotografia italiana.

Service designers are usually more familiar with firsthand and qualitative data, but dealing as well with quantitative data and visualizing it to properly communicate research findings and insights is a highly valuable skill. Moreover, data visualization is a design process itself that could involve both qualitative and quantitative data from different sources....
