Until April 27th Savona hosts Connexxion, with exhibitions, performances and site-specific works in museums and significant places in the city
The event consists of exhibitions, performances and site-specific works that involved museums and some significant places in the city, with a central theme in our times, such as freedom. Let’s talk about Connexxiona widespread festival of contemporary art organized by the Arteam Cultural Association and curated by Livia Savorelli, visible at Savona until April 27th.
The festival, as the curator tells us, “it is a wide-ranging reflection on this concept, in a world increasingly driven by nationalism, authoritarian tendencies, wars and upheavals on a global level, but also by an accentuated push towards radicalism and extremism”. …to be free. Between identity and memory is thus an exhibition constructed by proposing continuous connections with the history of Savona in collaboration with many anti-fascist associations that study the facts of the resistance, the role of the partisans (it is the city of Sandro Pertini) and the events that marked the twentieth century.
For the week between 25 April Connexxion offers the performance Bandite by Silvia Margaria, the site specific Semi by Davide Dormino and then performances and talks with the artists Alessio Barchitta, Rocco Dubbini, Armida Gandini, Federica Gonnelli, Lorenzo Gnata, Monica Gorini, Carla Iacono, Gianni Moretti, Giulia Nelli , Filippo Riniolo. Many of the events arise in natural dialogue with the city and other works already present in the context, such as the Monument to the Resistance by Agenore Fabbri, whose fiftieth anniversary is being celebrated.
The final week of the festival is part of a larger project, which began last November with the exhibitions – curated by Livia Savorelli and Matteo Galbiati – at the Civic Archaeological Museum and at the Sandro Pertini and Renata Cuneo Museum, which saw the presence of the artists Elena Bellantoni, Davide Dormino, Rocco Dubbini, Armida Gandini, Roberto Ghezzi, Alberto Gianfreda, Gianni Moretti, Laura Pugno, Attilio Tono and Ivano Troisi.
