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.
