Art investigating identity:
at Palazzo delle Papesse in Siena the exhibition on Nomadism and
Identity
Nomadism and identity, the exhibition
currently on display at Contemporary Art Centre Palazzo delle Papesse
in Siena, Italy, will close on September 25. The exhibit, curated
by Lorenzo Fusi, gravitates around the concepts of identity and nomadism
in contemporary society; the aim is to analyse political, cultural
and gender issues through the eyes of contemporary artists particularly
engaged with the aforementioned topics.
Social integration and conflicts have been redefying our perception
of the Self. In this delicate phase of re-negotiation of identitarian
categories the artists play a fundamental role. Who’s the foreigner
and for whom? Does the nomad have more sense of identity than the
resident? And who has no roots? Is the artist always a nomad and to
which world does he/she belong? The exhibition addresses some of these
issues and activates a much wider platform of discussion.
