Guendalina Salini's 'Riparo' at Fondazione Pastificio Cerere
Guendalina Salini (Rome, 1972) presents 'Riparo' at Fondazione Pastificio Cerere in Rome, a show built around her short film 'La città e il cielo,' developed with the association La Frangia and Calabrian communities near Rosarno. The exhibition includes a video installation, a site-specific work with carpets traversed by arabesques of colored and perfumed spices evoking diverse homes and cultures, and 'ripari' (shelters) created through self-narration workshops involving students and migrants in collaboration with InMigrazione, Ali, and Civico Zero. Personal memories merge with collective history, exploring the concept of 'home' through overlapping sounds and words.
