ROVIGO – The exhibition “Memories and the art of repairing with gold” is part of May Rodigino 2024, set up by the association “The Courtyard of the Olivetans” in the former New fish market in Rovigo from 25 May to 8 June. This initiative offers the public the result of the commitment of the participants in the annual drawing and painting workshop, who this year developed the theme of intellectual and emotional regeneration, aimed at healing any traumas that every human being can suffer during their existence.
Thursday 30 Mayagain in the former Pescheria nuova, the central event of the exhibition is held which sees, at 4.30 pm, the speech of the professor Alessandra Grompi, teacher of Human Sciences and Philosophy at the Celio-Roccati city high school, who will address the theme of wounds and healing, followed, from 6 pm, by a series of stage readings by the drawing and painting group, with musical accompaniment of the flute of Eleonora Magnabosco and the cello of Beatrice Galasso.
The theme developed by the association The Courtyard of the Olivetansthrough these initiatives, corresponds to what was promoted this year by May Rodigino: the gender equality. With the support of Mirella Boso, a painter with long experience as a teacher of “Painting Techniques” in the artistic high schools of Castelmassa and Rovigo, who now manages the association’s artistic laboratories, the kintsugy technique was adopted to recompose, through artistic expression, original integrity.
As the president of the association specifies, Maura White, “Cultural and artistic institutions can be subjects capable of suggesting strategies to activate that intellectual and emotional regeneration oriented towards forms of respect, protection, listening and dignity of the human being. Every wound tells a story that is worth telling, thus making an individual fact collective through art, which becomes an instrument of equality that facilitates the overcoming of stereotypes thanks to attention towards what is considered different”.
