SUMMARY:Sprouted Seeds - A Tribute to Joseph Beuys | Let's Sow Art\, 6th Edition
DESCRIPTION:As part of the program for L’Aquila 2026\, Italian Capital of Culture\, the MuBAq – L’Aquila Children’s Museum presents *Germogliati semi*. A tribute to Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) on the 40th anniversary of his passing\, this is the fourth event in the sixth edition of “Seminiamo Arte\,” curated by Antonio Gasbarrini and Mariano Cipollini\, and supported and promoted by the City of L’Aquila. The opening is scheduled for July 30 at 6:00 p.m.; the exhibition is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Additional special opening hours in August will be announced as they become available.  \nMore than thirty Italian and international artists have been invited to participate with works and performances that are in perfect harmony with the revolutionary philosophy of Beuys’s  “Social Sculpture\, ” each interpreting in their own way the guiding principle that runs through Joseph Beuys’s entire body of work: DEFENSE OF NATURE. Sculptures\, installations\, and performances unfold within the natural setting ofthe medieval Celestine Botanical Garden\, adjacent to the Basilica of Santa Maria di Collemaggio\, transforming the green space into a place for intimate engagement with Beuys’s thought and work and into an invitation for the public to actively participate—as co-protagonists\, according to Beuys’s famous vision\, in a “peaceful and pacifying” plastic mass in the making.  \nTo round out the event\, in early September 2026\, an interdisciplinary seminar on Beuysian research and the state of the Botanical Garden\, as well as a photographic exhibition of portraits of Beuys taken by Stefano Fontebasso De Martino at the Palazzetto dei Nobili in L’Aquila.

SUMMARY:Architectures for entertainment and performance yesterday and today
DESCRIPTION:The project intends to focus attention on particular categories of buildings that characterize the cities of Abruzzo and Lazio: entertainment buildings. This particular category of buildings\, since ancient times\, seems to have had a special role in society\, manifesting a particular relationship between the population and central and local power. The project includes in-depth and performative activities in ancient and modern entertainment buildings scattered between the provinces of L’Aquila and Rieti (amphitheater of Amiternum\, amphitheater of Trebula Mutuesca\, Flavio Vespasiano theater in Rieti) with particular interest in ancient female cults attested mainly in Luco dei Marsi\, S. Anatolia di Borgorose\, S. Angelo di Civitella di Pescorocchiano\, S. Vittoria di Carsoli\, the so-called Baths of Cotilia in Cittaducale\, S. Vittoria in Monteleone Sabino\, Lucus Feroniae in Capena.

SUMMARY:Dream / Sleep | Artist-in-Residence Program with the "Alfredo Casella" Conservatory
DESCRIPTION:As part of the program for L’Aquila 2026\, Italian Capital of Culture\, the project Sogno / Sonno by the Xplosiva association is hosting an artist residency in collaboration with the “Alfredo Casella” State Conservatory of Music in L’Aquila\, where contemporary musical languages\, sound experimentation\, and performance practices intertwine in a collective process of research and shared creation. \nLeading the project is Francesco Fantini\, a musician and sound designer with an international background—including the “G. Verdi” Conservatory in Turin\, the “G.F. Ghedini” in Cuneo\, and MIAM in Istanbul—known for his versatility across pop production\, collaborations with artists such as Annalisa\, and film scores\, including the soundtrack for Yuri Ancarani’s *The Challenge*\, which was presented at the Locarno Film Festival. Joining him are two internationally renowned artists: Tomat\, a musician from the spime.im collective\, who has performed at the Barbican in London and at the MUTEK and Ars Electronica festivals\, and whose soundtrack for *Mondocane* was featured at the Venice Film Festival; and Canva6\, whose work spans electronic music and the performing arts\, having performed at MACRO in Rome and the Triennale in Milan\, and who composed the soundtrack for *Eat the Night* at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival’s Quinzaine des Cinéastes. \nThe residency culminates in a public presentation open to the city\, serving as the concluding moment to share the creative process developed during the week-long residency.
