The exhibition is dedicated to the memory of the artist Annalisa Lazzarotto, who left us prematurely. Critical text by art historian Francesca Piovan:
“How many of those girls and young women would have wanted to become artists?
How many of them could have left an important, strong, and delicate mark of their fragile yet already tempered existence?
This is the question that must move artistic consciences, annihilated by so much enduring violence.
The world, understood as a timeless collective, has been deprived, plundered, robbed of that feminine touch, of those voices that become echoes shouted from another dimension, relatively distant to us.
It is from this premise that Art becomes a visual testament, which crosses us, exhorts us, and animates us.
From this premise arises the need for choral, united, and unifying interventions.
And again, the need to make the experience of peace a concrete process, going beyond the theoretical, often divisive, concept of it; averting the mutation of thought and permanent perception of ideological imprisonment to which we are subjected.
Art becomes prayer. Universal communication. Pacifist language. Critical consciousness. Social responsibility.
At the same time, the Museum, a sacred place for the Muses, is no longer merely a container. It becomes a surface to project those prayers, languages, and consciences.
A conventionally and silently liturgical place dresses in noise, color, voices, and a single great belonging.” (FP)
