Project Medusa

Myths of This Present: Project Medusa

Medusa, mythological monster or Medusa, defenceless victim? Mythology created the Medusa, implicitly, all its victims, and a mythical hero killed it. Art has helped us to become heroes and to look into Medusa's eyes without being turned into stone. Art can help us face the fears and the new monsters we have created. 
Most recent monster: the phenomenon of migration. In fact, it is not new, because over time, the waves of history have forced millions of people to leave their homes. Today, however, unable to face the crisis, we turned it into a monster and we look at him from the stone-dead statues point of vue. Art is the only magic that can turn us into heroes again.
The motivation of this exhibition - deals with a very actual theme that affects the entire population of Europe at all levels and, unfortunately, in the long run and we don’t want that this monster to be our children’s heritage.
