PPP | "It's just what it was"

Friday 19th August, starting at 7:30 pm, presentation of the Gunè | artistic project shared textile installation by Veronica Rastelli for "2 ° Piano Art Residency", an artistic residency program promoted by ZNSproject APS, curated by Margherita Capodiferro and the artist Cristiano Pallara.

From 3 to 21 August, after two years of forced detention due to the pandemic, ZNSproject hosted Veronica Rastelli.

Gunè (derives from the Greek "γυνή", which means "woman", all that is feminine) is a tribute to women and the art of weaving. A tapestry to tell the territory, the landscape, women's work and the relationship with the patronal festivals. A textile story that develops slowly, slowly, in dialogue.

By discovering and listening to the territory, interfacing with the citizens and thanks to the collaboration of Fabio De Marco with his collection of Palagiano's period maps, Veronica Rastelli has woven plots like a diary embroidered with stories, tales and words; Evoking our bond with the earth and with the present, trying to reclaim the past to develop, extend and expand it.

“2 ° Piano Art Residency” is an open, experimental, autonomous and independent space of artistic research

On the occasion of this edition, we hosted the artist Veronica Rastelli and her research on local weaving.

To complete the path, also this year the artistic workshops for children aged 13 to 18 thanks to the project "Cantieri di Dinamismo sociale" - Puglia Region - Notice 2/2017 "Social anti-mafia construction sites: education for active citizenship and improvement of the fabric urban".

From 5 to 6 August, with Gunè: Creative weaving workshop: the looms were made and each participant was able to learn the weaving technique and rediscover the small gestures and manual work for the realization of great things, useful and lasting, such as it was used once, when local weaving was a precious commodity for everyone. The documents obtained will contribute to the realization of the shared textile installation "GUNE '".

From Nature to Painting (7, 8, 9, 11 August) is a workshop for painting starting from natural elements. With the help of Legambiente on 7 August, the participants led by Gianluca Montemurro and the artist Veronica Rastelli searched for typical natural elements that they could transform in a simple way. For a rediscovery of Nature and its riches, small paintings have been created with the colors obtained.

These works, together with the shared textile installation "GUNE '" and the collages made thanks to the artist Federica Gonnelli in July, with the "Collage and other stories | to connect and reconnect the world ”and the reflections needed in the Anthropocene era; the works created during the “Sculpture Workshops” with Aurora Avvantaggiato and Raffaele Vitto to investigate the problems of the industrialized era, from the abandonment of plastic to the search for more sustainable construction methods; to finish the Comics fanzine made on the basis of the tables of the boys in the "Comics Workshop: WHERE I LIVE" with Tonio Vinci, with the aim of recognizing and recognizing one's own territory; they will be presented to the citizens on 19 August, from 7.30 pm to 11.00 pm, in Piazza Don Donato Rota in Palagiano (TA).
