In collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice
Ricucire (Mending) is a workshop project involving a selection of students from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice in a physical and symbolic journey through the areas of Belìce affected by the earthquake. Starting from the work of Alberto Burri, the artist proposes a reflection on “reparatory” actions and the relationship between wounds and landscape. During the residency, a new prìsente is created for the procession of San Rocco on 16 August: the fabric, the result of collective work, is then carried in procession to Burri's Grande Cretto and, according to tradition, donated to the city. The project intertwines ritual, journey and artistic practice as forms of mending between past and present.
