On November 24th, the National Museum of Abruzzo will conclude its series of meetings in the area for the ARCA project – Art, Regeneration, Community, Living – in the Municipality of Acciano. Archaeologist Ilaria Trafficante will present the epigraph from the MuNDA collections dedicated to the god Silvanus.
The meeting will take place at 5:30 PM in the Multipurpose Room of Roccapreturo in the Municipality of Acciano.
Speakers will include Fabio Camilli, Mayor of Acciano; Silvia Di Gregorio, artistic director of the ARCA project; and Ilaria Trafficante, archaeologist at MuNDA.
The goal of the ARCA project, which will conclude in December, is to transform art into a true engine of social regeneration through international artist residencies, school workshops, inclusive activities with local associations, and participatory art initiatives. It involves local communities as active participants in a shared cultural process. The project will feature 11 artists from various countries in the 2009 earthquake-affected towns of Barisciano, Acciano, Fontecchio, Fossa, Ocre, Poggio Picenze, Sant’Eusanio Forconese, Scoppito, Tione Degli Abruzzi, Tornimparte, and Villa Sant’Angelo. The project will also feature community-specific activities involving residents, associations, and cultural institutions through meetings, workshops, training and performance activities, exhibitions, and presentation and presentation events.
The project, promoted by eleven municipalities in the Crater area and coordinated by artistic director Silvia Di Gregorio, is funded by the Restart Program – Priority C and aims to enhance the artistic, landscape, and human heritage of the areas affected by the earthquake, offering new perspectives to younger generations.
In addition to MuNDA, the initiative is also supported by the University of L’Aquila, the MAXXI L’Aquila, the Teatro Stabile d’Abruzzo, The Current (USA), AppStart Onlus, the Comunità 24 Luglio, and numerous local and international artists.
