"Cora's Courage," a photography exhibition by Gabo Caruso, is on view at the Urban Center in Avellino. The show brings together 41 photographs that follow Cora's social gender transition, with attention to personal identity, self-expression, inclusion and welcome.
The exhibition is organized in chapters accompanied by introductory captions. The images document Cora's everyday life and her relationships with family, school and friends.
What visitors will see
The 41 photographs form a documentary portrait centered on daily life rather than a single event. According to local coverage, the chapters structure the visit around different parts of Cora's experience, while the captions introduce each section.
The subjects reported across the sources include home life, school, family relationships and friendships. Together they place questions of identity and inclusion in ordinary settings: classrooms, domestic spaces and time spent with people close to Cora.
Curator and organizers
The exhibition is curated by Anna Catalano, identified as the founder and director of the Fotografia Calabria Festival.
The organization involves the Centro Antidiscriminazioni Malikɘ and the Fotografia Calabria Festival, with the City of Avellino and other local partners. The initiative is linked to "Oltre i confini – un mondo di possibilità," a program promoted by the City of Avellino with partners connected to the Malikɘ center.
The photographic project began in 2018, according to coverage of the Avellino presentation.

Why this exhibition matters in Avellino
For readers in Avellino and Irpinia, the show offers a locally accessible occasion to engage with themes of identity and inclusion through documentary photography.
Its placement within "Oltre i confini – un mondo di possibilità" connects the exhibition to a wider civic program rather than presenting it as an isolated cultural event. The collaboration between an anti-discrimination center, a photography festival and municipal and local partners also situates the project within both cultural and community work in the area.
