MONTADINANZA. Resilient Winters: practices and economies.
MONTADINANZA. Inverni Resilienti: pratiche ed economie.
EN
November 2024 > May 2025.
A project curated by CAP24020, in partnership with Ways of Working (UK).
With artists Sara Cattin and Judit Neunhaeuserer.
With the participation of Anna Andreoletti, Chiara Pendezza, Christian Gandelli, Ibrahim Camara Fode, Jobayer Mohammad, Marta Bonandrini, Pietro Cominelli, Valentina Luiselli.
Supported by European Cultural Foundation - Culture of Solidarity Fund.
MONTADINANZA is a term created by organization CAP24020 –taking from the word cittadinanza: citizenship- to identify the society of people living on mountanous areas.
The project invited a group of 8 young people (17-25 years old) and 2 artists to create a research programme focusing on climate change and its effect on the Alta Val Seriana’s practices and economies, looking into the fast mutation that winter territories and culture are vitnessing since years. The Alta Val Seriana, as area rich of turist infrastructures, is effected not only by lack of natural snow but also by cultural, environmental and social policies that fail to develope valuable economies (and practices), and to overcome problems such as depopulation, loss of social services, poor cultural exchange, and others.
In 3 steps –Prologue, Action and Epilogue– the group undertook a journey of meetings, hikes, and workshops.
The artistic process aimed to rethink the concept of competition and record winning that feels so radicated in Alpine territories hosting professional sport activties and the related turist sistem. The idea was to turn a prize, an award, into something that rather than being a goal can generate energy and express a desire for the future.
While creating different kinds of trophies and medals in sculptural tecniques, the group was guided into finding enties –people, organizations and things- to award for their best effort into generating sustainability, relationships, personal or collective growth, webs of friendship, proximity, and closeness.
