Valentina Miorandi's participatory video for Italy's Liberation Day
During the COVID-19 lockdown, artist Valentina Miorandi (born 1982 in Trento) revived her 2011 project "Inno Costituzionale d'Italia," a video work set to words and phrases from the Italian Constitution. The piece became a participatory artwork as people sent in their contributions, transforming it into a collective video. Miorandi stated that recalling constitutional principles during the national emergency strengthens solidarity and a sense of belonging to the state. The work is endorsed by ANPI (National Association of Italian Partisans) and was released on April 25, 2020, Italy's Liberation Day, when traditional commemorations were canceled due to the pandemic. The project was featured on Artribune, which also launched initiatives like the newsletter "Lettera" and WhatsApp channel to engage readers during the crisis.
