Different Eyes
MOTUS A.C. APS
Italy
Through a group exhibition of artworks on the theme of discrimination, selected by a citizens’ jury, the project Different Eyes aims to increase cultural participation and promote cohesion through art. The vernissage of the exhibition will take place on the occasion of the opening of C.A.P. 53018, a new independent socio-cultural centre born from a cultural-based urban regeneration project
The project is part of broader process of creating events co-designed with citizens, social movements and local associations, aimed to enhance civic and cultural engagement, supporting community development
“Different Eyes” is a collective exhibition on the theme of discrimination made by local artists’ works through different media. The works will be selected by a jury of citizens of all ages and backgrounds.
The vernissage will take place at the opening of C.A.P. 53018, a new socio-cultural centre, born from a cultural-based urban regeneration project, aimed at the redevelopment of an unused building located in an industrial area in Sovicille (9,845 inhab.) in Siena (Italy). The area of Sovicille lacks a venue to host cultural activities year-round. For this reason, MOTUS decided to create C.A.P. 53018 and to move there its headquarter from the Centro Internazionale d’Arte, currently located in Siena city center.
