The exhibition Siamo Foresta is accompanied by a dedicated publication, containing the iconographic documentation of the exhibition journey, and by a children’s guide that proposes dedicated activities exploring the contents of the artworks, designed specifically for the younger public together with a series of workshops. As well as a rich public program curated by Italian philosopher Emanuele Coccia, which underlines the original and standing points of the exhibition. The first event took place on Thursday June 22 from 5 to 8 pm to celebrate the opening of the exhibition and the wide variety of expressive languages, inspirations and topics represented by the artists, 13 of which, along with the artistic directors, gathered around Emanuele Coccia for an inspiring conversation, open to the public. This program will continue in the fall.
