A moment from the presentation
On Sunday, March 16, in the Sala dell’Annunziata of the Sant’Agostino Complex in Pietrasanta, the presentation of the project “Rebirth from Waste / Rinascita dagli Scarti” took place, an initiative created to combine art, inclusion and sustainability within the Human Connections exhibition curated by Alessandro Romanini. The meeting was attended by the exhibition manager of the Municipality of Pietrasanta Valentina Fogher, the artist Filippo Tincolini, the Director of ANFFAS Onlus Massa Carrara, Giuseppe Mussi, the President of ANFFAS Onlus Massa Carrara, Fiorella Nari, the photographer Laura Veschi and the journalist and art critic Alice Barontini who moderated. Present in the room were the participants in the project Massimiliano Braida, Riccardo Pogioli, Rita Piccinini, Ilaria Aliboni, Renato Lorenzani, Annalisa Javassis and the operators Maura Marchi and Irene Bernardini who supported them during the journey.
The series “Rebirth from Waste / Rinascita dagli Scarti” was born from the collaboration between Filippo Tincolini and ANFFAS Onlus Massa Carrara (Association of families and people with intellectual disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders). The six participants were actively involved in the creative process, giving life to two imposing sculptures: “Satiro dei Sassi” and “Venere dei Sassi”, more than two meters high and exhibited until June 2 in the Barsanti Garden. The initiative allowed participants to experience creativity as a tool for expression and inclusion, raising public awareness on the issues of disability, social art and sustainability.
"The project "Rinascita dagli scarti" - explains Giuseppe Mussi, Director of ANFFAS Onlus Massa Carrara - represents not only an artistic laboratory, but also a laboratory of inclusion and awareness. For ANFFAS, this project is a concrete testimony of what can be achieved when people, ideas and territories work together to build a more just and inclusive future for all". The project was documented by photographer Laura Veschi with a selection of shots exhibited in the Cloister and through a video projected during the presentation to tell the backstage of the exhibition.
