Sara Montani's works transform Milan middle school into art gallery

Artist Sara Montani's works are on display for three months at the Rinascita A. Livi middle school in Milan, as part of the Galleria delle lavagne project. The initiative educates students on contemporary art through artist meetings and workshops. Montani's practice spans etching, monotype, cyanotype, and painting, using clothing as matrices to preserve memory. During the opening, students from Laboradio interviewed the artist. Montani first implemented Galleria delle lavagne in 2010 at a primary school in via Palmieri, hosting artists from various Italian regions. She began exhibiting in 1970 at age 19, initially working with material techniques before shifting to garments. Her work often addresses social issues, including human rights and women's experiences, as seen in "Straccio di donna."
