Third Edition of the Maroggia Triennale Focuses on Street Art
The Triennale di Maroggia's third edition, named 'Tra Strada e Street Art', is set to take place in Maroggia, Canton Ticino, from August 28 to November 5, 2021. Curated by Artrust, this event invites urban artists to delve into the importance of roads in Maroggia, a town where key north-south routes intersect. The exhibition will also highlight waterways and trails, featuring artists such as Banksy, Bane, and Andrea Ravo Mattoni, who will reimagine significant locations. Mayor Jean-Claude Binaghi emphasized the community's dedication to rebuilding the historic Mulino di Maroggia, which was lost in 2020. Through art, the Triennale seeks to rejuvenate the mill and engage both art lovers and tourists.
