Uniting Worlds

by IS-ARTE (Ana Valentina Candamil)

“Uniting Worlds” project – Colombia-Europe cultural exchange 2025, coordinated by the companies Artes Gato Negro and Títeres Passiflora

art exhibition • Palazzo del Bargello (P. 8)

This Cultural Exchange is a collective initiative that brings together painters, photographers, audiovisual producers, puppeteers, artisans, and folk dancers, from different geographical areas of Colombia to create an exhibition representing different forms of art made in Colombia.

The name Uniting Worlds aims to showcase the reality of a multicultural and biodiverse country that vibrates between mountains, seas, streets, theaters, painting galleries, on the hands and emotions of each creator who, through their photos, paintings, and dances, will open a window to the world of indigenous, black, women, men and children from every region of Colombia.

A live body painting performance by IS-ARTE Ana Valentina Candamil will feature the opening of the exhibition. She has over eight years of experience in the field of art and social work, and has held several exhibitions in Spain, Mexico, and Ecuador. Her main goal is to convey a message of love, spirit, and liberation through artistic works and spaces such as body painting performances, happenings and exhibitions.

These artists join the Festival as part of the “Uniting Worlds” project – Colombia-Europe cultural exchange 2025, coordinated by the companies Artes Gato Negro and Títeres Passiflora.

Nel Frattempo

curated by Collettivo Placebo

art exhibition • Pianetto (P. 7)

Nel Frattempo was born out of the desire to open a domestic space to suspension, slowness, and encounter. Within the bustling rhythm of Artisti in Piazza, the exhibition invites the public to cross a threshold and leave behind the frenzy, entering an intimate environment where time seems to expand, slow down, and take a different direction.

In this quiet atmosphere, the artworks engage in a silent dialogue with the rooms, the objects, and the natural light that flows through the space. Each artistic intervention settles within the groove of a transformed everyday life, revealing glimpses of imagination, desire, play, and vision.

Nel Frattempo is not just an exhibition, but a shared experience: an invitation to slow down, to inhabit time differently, to rediscover a deeper sense of listening. Within the walls of this home, a threshold is built between inside and outside, between the relentless pace of the festival and the possibility of pausing, breathing, and imagining together.

Filò – Chiacchierata sul Novecento con gli anziani del Friuli Venezia Giulia

by Madame Rebiné

video documentary • grottino of Teatro Vittoria (P. 6)

A video documentary that tells the story of the 20th century through the eyes of the residents of several nursing homes in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The project is inspired by the old tradition of filò, popular in the early 20th century, when people would gather in barns in the evening to keep warm, work, play, and chat. It is an intimate and playful tale that invites reflection on important themes such as memory, communication, and aging.

Il mondo che vogliamo

a cura di Tommaso D’Errico

Photo exhibition • grottino of Teatro Vittoria (P. 6)

“We live in an age that wants us all to be at odds with each other, passive, disheartened, and sad. Yet there is still room for a different idea of the present and the future when we come together and work to stage a better world. That’s what happens in Pennabilli every day, and it becomes even more powerful during the Festival, thanks to the participation of thousands of people, when the special alchemy of a small community becomes a message that can travel far. That’s what I saw during the five days of the Festival: what human relationships should be—teamwork, where everyone takes part and everyone wins.”
