//La Memoria in Tasca//
“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.”
OSCAR WILDE
"Basta una di quelle frasi antiche, sentite e ripetute nel tempo della nostra infanzia...Quelle frasi sono il vocabolario dei nostri giorni andati.. la testimonianza d’un nucleo vitale che ha cessato di esistere, ma che sopravvive nei suoi testi, salvati dalla corrosione del tempo."
NATALIE GINZBURG
"Memory is a term that the visual arts, in recent decades, have turned into aesthetic category producing projects and artworks in public and private spaces. These projects and artworks investigated different themes such as identity, tradition, history, monument, our roots in order to search for a meaning of our contemporary life.
The workshop offers a path of knowledge focused on these themes and will investigate the Genoese urban spaces and their inhabitants through the personal experiences of the participants."
