I am glad to inform you about an important artistic event I will take part at from october 31st to november 2nd.
It is sponsored by the italian Institute of Culture in New York, the fine arts academy of Reggio Calabria, the Provence of Reggio Calabria, the Prefecture of Reggio Calabria, the Commune of Reggio Calabria, Women Rose Movement of San Luca, the Presidency of the regional council, the Ministry for the Arts.
Here below a brief description of the project.
Artists are invited to take part at a great artistic event.
All artists will meet each other and live togheter in a B&B from october 31st to november 2nd to discuss about the artistic project, approach the town of San Luca and interpret the essence of the women who live in and collaborate with the Women Rose Movement of San Luca.
The artworks will be exhibited in a group show called "XX Women made in south Italy – Donne create in Italia" in New York and then in Reggio Calabria by the Province Palace.
Through this innovatory artistic event, the region of Calabria wants to communicate to Italy and to the whole world that now San Luca is not the base of \'ndrangheta anymore. It is healing itself and it requires peace. The italian authority has awarded the Women Rose Movement of San Luca and Rosy Canale, its founder and collaborator of the Reggio Calabria Academy as well, with the Giugno Locrese Prize - well known as Paolo Borsellino Prize – which is confered as a sign of admire and gratitude to those italian personalities who offered their engagement, consistency and courage in relation to their political and social action against violence and injustice.
Up to today many of these women have not still realized what is the real meaning of this award. But this made history. The news went round the newspapers, magazines and broadcasters of all over the world.
Beginning of october the "Los Angeles Times" published a wonderful reportage about this Movement and Rosy Canale. And so the "Sole 24 Ore" as well.
The press conference will take place on the 31st of October at 12.00 by the Province palace of Reggio Calabria. Prefect of Reggio, artists and curators will be present at the conference.
