EDDart’s 'Orizzonti Italiani' Unites Rome and Palermo Through Photography and Painting
The 'Orizzonti Italiani' exhibition at the EDDart gallery in Palazzo Taverna, Rome, presents a unique look at Italy through a mix of artwork. It features pieces from renowned artists like Giacomo Balla, Luigi Ghirri, and Mario Schifano, along with 32 photographs taken by kids from the Beyond Lampedusa group. These young photographers, guided by Alvaro Beamud Cortés and supported by the Interlude Project, used disposable cameras to capture everyday life in Palermo. The sale of their photos will help fund inclusion projects for Beyond Lampedusa. The exhibition cleverly contrasts historical and contemporary views, showcasing works like Ghirri’s 1982 Pantheon shot and Balla’s oil painting of Villa Borghese, highlighting both Rome and Palermo.
