III CONCORSO INTERNAZIONALE

Theme and Concept
INVISIBLE VIOLENCE
Private | Pubblic | Social

Visual and poetical grammars to analyse a humanity that in order to transform itself needs to recover its roots

Festarte challenges the artists to investigate on a kind of violence that does not injure the body, that is not visible, that hurts without touching, that dims the mind, deteriorates the existence and the vital force. Perceiving it, uncovering it = a breath of freedom.
