The exhibitions will be characterized by a multimedia slant, consisting of a very contemporary interweaving of visual art, music and light with light projections and musical performances. After Brussels, the exhibitions will be transferred to other Italian cultural institutes and institutional locations around the world and to Trieste.
The project, promoted by Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia and fromFoemina APS Associationcreated in co-production with the Italian Cultural Institute of Brussels, with the patronage of the Municipality of Trieste and conceived and curated by Marianna Accerboniaims to bear witness in the heart of Europe to the particular creativity of the artists of this territory through some of its most representative protagonists, who embody different tendencies and languages, with the aim of offering a synthetic but exhaustive picture of creativity and the particular artistic reality culture of the Region.
Furthermore, through targeted meetings with young Belgian artists and Belgian schools, an awareness-raising work focused on the art of Trieste and the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region will be promoted with the possibility for young and very young Belgian artists and students to exhibit at Trieste and in the FVG Region and for young Julian and Friulian people to exhibit in Belgium, creating a current of mutual cultural exchange between the two countries also through themed competitions in our territory (as has already happened for other exhibitions organized by Accerboni in Brussels).
