Guides: Rosario Villani and Vanesa Catellani
The series aims to bring to the general public proposals that embrace diversity in production processes and techniques, resulting in visually distinct outcomes. In order to create bridges between visitors and the artworks, the curator leads an explanatory tour using a colloquial and accessible language, while keeping in mind the need to foster the development of new audiences for contemporary art.
Guided tours open to the public are held on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 5:00 p.m.
