Tiresia. Contemporary art with eyes closed

Tiresia, the blind seer of Greek mythology, is the guiding figure of Alberto Nicolino’s podcast, which narrates "what lies around" the works: sounds, music, voices, situations, and impressions gathered before and after exhibitions and residencies. Interviews with artists, visitors, and residents, along with the sounds of bars, the wind, and the market, compose an audio narrative that recreates the experience of Gibellina 2026 beyond the image, inviting listeners to experience the city and its art "with eyes closed."
