The 26 works created by four hands all contain a double creative identity.
The artists from Bangladesh, Canada, China, Finland, Iran, Italy, Poland, Tunisia and the USA intervened with their own techniques, styles and different alphabets. The initiative testifies to how much an artistic community - which welcomes within it different worlds and a collaborative artistic practice can contribute to overcoming the fear of confrontation with something stylistically and humanly different, and thus create a vision of creative communication open to dialogue and capable of reading contemporaneity.
The exhibition, created by the Stamperia Ripa 69 Cultural Association, curated by Ursula Bonetti and Usama Saad, will be accompanied by a series of educational activities dedicated to the different techniques of engraving art, including workshops for children and adults.
