Nature of Art festival 2017 - 2019
Nature Of Art was a festival I coorganised and curated within an ancient park of 2000 years old history. With a group of artists, musicians, photographers, journalists, graphic designers, nature enthusiasts and volunteers we were placing in a 2km route artworks, each years inspired by a different theme.
Many actions, such as land art workshops for children and teenagers, organized routes in the history of the park, guided tours in the exhibition, performances, musical events and discussions were taking place for ten days in the shade of Rodini trees.
Each year a different journey
A community building event that allowed for plenty of creative expression, with a participation between 35 - 50 artists, varying through the years, Nature of Art has been a story of beauty and challenge, helping us grow in character and artistry.
Simultaneously we managed to draw attention towards the ancient park with actions of volunteer cleaning and more, and as a result the municipality restored its paths, bridges and other structures.
