Theme and Concept
INVISIBLE VIOLENCE
Private |Pubblic | Social
Visual and poetical grammars to analyze a humanity
that in order to transform itself needs to recover its roots
Artists are invited to investigate a kind of violence that does not hurt the body, that cannot be seen and it hits you without even touching you. It can stem from the environments that are supposed to protect us, hiding behind unsusceptible behaviour and subtly becoming part of our history, culture, politics. Feel it, disclose it – a breath of freedom.
