Villa Filanda Antonini (VFA) invites the artists to explore the surrounding area and create projects that have social repercussions, as well as employing site-responsive strategies capable of engaging with the local community, both through artworks and workshops. Artists will be asked to learn from the place by developing practices drawing on traditional techniques, knowledge, and/or transforming local materials (including waste from agricultural and/or industrial production). The goal is to facilitate the transfer of values and the mapping of local knowledge through the artistic process.
Participating artists are free to develop their individual projects according to their field of expertise and professional needs. Their work must follow the goals and concept proposed by VFA.
