Kora Centre Launches Summer 2025 Season with Selvatica and Yirong Wu Shows
On July 4, the Centro del Contemporaneo Kora in Castrignano dei Greci will kick off its summer 2025 exhibition season. Established in 2021, Kora took over from the Lastation contemporary art station. This season will present two exhibitions: 'Selvatica,' curated by the Iuno team, featuring works from various artists, and a solo exhibition titled 'Natura morta' by Yirong Wu. Additionally, the festival 'Ogni Altro Suono,' led by Donato Epiro, will commence on the same day with a concert by Silvia Tarozzi. A new initiative, 'Korte,' will transform the courtyard into a vibrant space with a bar and events, launching on July 3 with a DJ performance by Daniele Marzano. On July 25, Kora will host a discussion during the Wonder Women festival, led by Paolo Mele.
