Fondazione Elpis in Milan opens two exhibitions on Calabria
In Milan, Fondazione Elpis is gearing up to launch two exhibitions that explore Calabrian culture: the group show 'Simposio' and Fabrizio Bellomo's solo exhibit 'Nziembru'. These exhibitions will run from March 2-3, 2024, until March 24. 'Simposio' features contributions from artists like Arie Amaya-Akkermans, Simon DeReyer Bellouard, and others who took part in the fourth In-Ruins residency at Parco Archeologico di Sibari and Museo Nazionale Archeologico di Amendolara in September 2023. They've tailored their artworks for Milan after engaging with local communities. Meanwhile, Bellomo’s 'Nziembru' displays a video installation and tapestries inspired by traditional weaving, showcasing unfinished structures in Calabria, including one linked to his family. The opening weekend includes workshops and performances.
