DI-SCORDARE. Ricerche artistiche sulle eredità del fascismo in Italia

Artistic research on the legacies of fascism in Italy. Presentation of the book by Viviana Gravano in a talk with Salvo Lombardo

1 show for this event

Fascism, and Mussolini himself, were able to use culture as an extraordinary consensus tool to create ideas that could last over time, even after the fall of the regime. In Italy, traces of fascism are pervasive, and are more or less blatantly present throughout the country. In order to understand and not forget these marks of history, the book first addresses the processes of removal and revisionism, particularly in the context of the arts, and then proposes a careful analysis of the works of artists who since the 1980s have assumed the task of rereading those traces, decoding their meanings, and making an open, political and conceptual critique of them.
