"I Miti fondativi - The Myths of Foundation"
3rd edition 2022 - 2024
The product of the "contamination" created between Naples, Somma Vesuvio area and the international breath of the 19 + 22 artists who have already participated in our 2 first editions of the project, from many European countries to the United States, Argentina, Peru, to Australia, New Zeal
and, is today a heritage of great interest and artistic and cultural value. An experience that we want to consolidate and increase by relaunching the 3rd edition of the project 2022 - 2024. This new edition, which once again sees the full sharing of the Association Vesuviani in Cammino, develops with renewed interest and with new peculiarities, and is focused on the important theme "I Miti fondatori", so the Myths of foundation, with the aim of finding a contact between the legends and/or myths of the foundation of the city of Naples and the legends and/or Myths of other cities, origin of the international artists who will choose to apply, and if possible between the neapolitan Vesuvius and the vulcans of other cities. With this aim, the participating artists will convey their personal, distinctive, international look to the contemporary world of visual arts. A cultural interface - which was initiated in the first edition with an exchange of knowledge - will be made possible through the organization of meetings during which each artist will be able to illustrate his/her own artistic path, techniques of work, and the personal project he/she intends to develop with his/her own artistic sensibility. This will take place during occasions for discussing and deepening individual, specific themes related to art and the different meanings of contemporary art. The purely artistic experience will end with a video interview with the artist in order to capitalize impressions, feelings, emotions of the experience that they will bring in their own countries of origin. In this way artists will become real "testimonials" of the project and of our territory. The collected contributions will constitute an interesting database and will be reworked in the form of a promotional and dissemination catalog product that will be offered to Metropolitan City, Vesuvius National Park, Municipalities, Entities concerned and may constitute a useful new tool for the dissemination of a wider knowledge of our territory in Italy and abroad.
