Two years after the earthquake that devastated this land, in the difficult process of reconstruction underway, we asked ourselves what the basic condition or conditions are for sewing up a social fabric so deeply torn by the catastrophe.
It is certainly necessary to start again from the construction of spaces, but it is also necessary to regenerate the relational dynamics between people. The transformation of the ‘home’ into the ‘home’ – perfectly rendered by the difference in meaning between the English words ‘house’ and ‘home’ – is one of the difficult steps to be taken.
The only way to bring this land from memory to the future is to weave ties, between individuals and between the individual and places.
Stay here. Produce here. Come here. Acting and interacting with the territory is the sine qua non for a village to become not just a set of structures but a ‘community’.
The project
Each of the artists who was invited to participate, set up one of the Village’s prefabricated units with works of fibre and textile art. Through this site-specific intervention, an anonymous place of living is transformed into a space for living.
Since the rebirth of the territories cannot be separated from the possibility for people to realize their dreams, the artistic project becomes hope, the hope of a reconstruction made of opportunities, development and social, cultural and productive growth of the whole community.
