Crossing Places

DVD - Sensorial Maps of European Crossed Cities

This project is the follow-up of an initiative carried out by Arci in 2000 - 2001 - financed under the programme Culture 2000 - “In the dark. For those who can’t see art”. The “in the dark” project started from the idea that not being able to see is not a misfortune but can be an asset, in the sense that blindness is a different way of seeing and expressing things and the world. The new initiative "Crossing places” will focus on the link between people and places, body and space, body and territory, giving voice to unpublished narrations of spaces. "The places" and the “local cultural circuits", the active participation of citizen are the main elements of our proposal and the activities will be developed on these two axis.

The overall objective of the project is to find a an innovative way to “tell the cities “ from different points of view - different arts, cultures, perceptions - through performing arts and the work of different artists coming from different countries.
