Promoted by the Presidency of the City Council and by the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Brescia, this collective exhibition presents internationally acclaimed artists who have never before been shown in the city of Brescia. Many large-scale works and site-specific installations will interact with the exhibition spaces in a rare way with great visual impact, igniting cross-contaminations and relationships between the ancient and the contemporary, classical languages and industrial and reused materials.
The exhibition was made possible thanks to the loans and support by the galleries that represent the artists, Marignana Arte, Venice and Piero Atchugarry Gallery, Miami. It dialogues with the foundational values of the 2021 Festival of Peace, including the political or rather community values of the works, principles of dialogue and collaboration, resilience and the sharing of fundamental human rights. This involves fifteen artists (eleven shown in Brescia) from diverse generations and cultural backgrounds, many of whom come from Central or South American countries, selected for their attention to the themes of work and materials, transformation and change: topics of urgent relevance that play out in works of great involvement.
