21 Sardinian Illustrators Interpret Poe's 'The Raven' in Cagliari
The MEM – Mediateca del Mediterraneo in Cagliari has unveiled the second edition of the group exhibition 'Di segno in segno,' curated by Roberta Vanali. Titled 'The Raven,' this showcase includes creations from 21 emerging artists from Sardinia, all drawing inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe's renowned poem, which the curator interprets as a reflection of existential despair and a journey into darkness. The exhibition delves into contemporary art's diverse languages, utilizing graphic methods such as printmaking, illustration, drawing, street art, and tattooing. Featured artists include Andrea Asili, Giorgia Atzeni, La Fille Bertha, and others. The exhibition is open until May 22, followed by eight bipersonal shows through December 2019, each inspired by a literary work.
