Mimi Mollica is a Sicilian-born, London-based photographer and educator known for socially engaged documentary work and atmospheric storytelling. His practice explores the intersections of identity and environment, ranging from the award-winning monograph Terra Nostra (Dewi Lewis, 2017), a poetic study of the Mafia’s imprint on Sicily, to his latest book, Moon City (Dewi Lewis, 2025). The latter, captured via telescope and mobile phone, offers a “fever-dream” critique of London’s urban alienation. Mollica’s work is published globally in outlets such as The Guardian, The New York Times, and FT Weekend, and exhibited internationally from Somerset House to New York. A central figure in the photography c community, he founded Offspring Photo Meet in 2015 and the Sicily Photo Masterclass in 2018. He is an Associate Lecturer at London Metropolitan University, where he mentors photographers on long-term visual narratives.
