➝ What do you want to make?
A slow and inevitable process of depopulation is affecting internal areas and remote villages in Italy. Started with the Industrial boom in the 70s, it's related to the seek for better and apparently more stable working opportunities, which were provided by the major urban centres with their industrial capacity and development plans. The result is a huge, forgotten heritage that could be estimated to be more than 6000 ghost villages, just in Italy.
Now that we may have some concerns or doubts about the industrial developments and the consumeristic drifts bring by them, together with the re-evaluation of the spaces we inhabit and the natural resources we try to control, could it be the moment to re-think and re-imagine ways for living and working together? Maybe by thinking of the future as a constellation of small, almost self-sustainable communities, which could easily organize themself around urgent issues and real needs? Working in a smaller scale helps us to try out, engaging directly with the local people and heritage, receiving direct feedbacks to move instantly forward to the next step.
I want to provide a set of tools, local infrastructures and physical spaces (in the form of an art residency) in order to promote creative production within small scale environments such as rural and remote areas, to respond to their need for cultural revitalization, intending to resonate with their cultural heritage and local traditions as an important tool for understanding the present. While braiding in the specific pre-existent and micro-territorial context, the project helps to define new possibilities for artistic and cultural developments, both for the territory and artists.
