We find ourselves inside an ancient 19th-century prison, a place rich in history. Born during the three days of mourning for Giuseppe Garibaldi, a national hero, the prison was decommissioned after two centuries, when the last prisoners were transferred to a modern facility.
Abandoned for over 30 years, the prison/exhibition space today becomes the stage for contemporary artists who, together with the spect-actors, decide to bring it back to life in a surprising way. The setup will allow visitors to collaborate with painters, photographers, filmmakers, dancers, and musicians to bring to light the “Communicating Artistic Organisms.”
Engaging the public in this ‘UrbexSquad’ begins to practice ‘creative spelunking’, immersing itselves among decaying cells, inscriptions carved by prisoners, and dusty files, in order to explore through various forms of art the powerful link between vulnerability and creative strength that resides in each of us.
The story of ‘IOSONOVULNERABILE’ reflects on the absurdity of modern times, where beauty and strength can emerge from the most unexpected corners and from the most difficult experiences. The prison becomes a metaphor of society, its complex history and potential for transformation merge, through creativity and the sharing of human vulnerabilities.
