The program of #OfficineRufa starts again with Fiamma Montezemolo, visual artist and anthropologist. The talk with the artist will focus on the issue of the Frontier, a key element of her poetics, and one of the keys to understanding contemporary geopolitics. What are frontiers, how are they (re)produced and how do they work? We will talk about this with one of the most interesting artists of her generation. The meeting is curated by Nicolas Martino.
The other is no more or perhaps never was and no more than me or you. We are all others, we are all natives of one place or another… In the frontier I discover that the native is not automatically better or worse as such. I discover that the drama is our infinite projections on that native, what we try to make of him or her.
[Fiamma Montezemolo]

#OfficineRufa is an articulated program of cultural and artistic initiatives addressed to the student community of the Academy and open to the whole city. A series of meetings, debates and stories with some of the most relevant actors of the contemporary cultural scene, an abecedarium of artistic practices starting, always, from a keyword.
