America Rovesciata

On Saturday, April 4, on Via Santa Maria in Carrara, the 1ˢᵗ “Arte Abitata” project was inaugurated, hosting sociocultural and artistic initiatives in the historic center.

The 1ˢᵗ artist to be featured is Jorge Romeo, with his exhibition America Rovesciata, created as a moment of reflection and commemoration as part of Né oblio né perdono - Carrara ricorda i 50 anni dal golpe civico-militare in Argentina (Neither Forget nor Forgive - Carrara commemorates the 50ᵗʰ anniversary of the civic-military coup in Argentina), an occasion that calls for keeping alive the memory of human rights violations and the wounds left by South American dictatorships. 

Through different languages, the sculptural material and styling of the muralist, the 2 artists construct a visual dialog that crosses geographical boundaries and generations, questioning the relationship between history and the present. The exhibited works present a viewpoint able to shift established perspectives, evoking resistance, collective memory and hope. The exhibition aims to be a meeting space between art and civic consciousness, where Carrara becomes a place for listening and revealing, reaffirming the value of memory as a living and necessary act. 

Alongside these works, the exhibition also features pieces by Chilean muralist Hector “mono” Carrasco, with the aim of introducing visitors to the mural art that is common in certain Latin American countries.

The exhibition will be open from Wednesday to Sunday from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, until Sunday, May 3.
