RIGENERA Festival dell'Architettura | Saturday, October 17th
As part a of the program of RIGENERA Festival dell'Architettura, Collezione Maramotti is pleased to announce a public meeting with the artist Margherita Moscardini entitled Le Fontane di Za'atari. Abitare senza Appartenere.
At the event Moscardini will present his permanent sculpture Mahallat el-Ghouta 94, Block 8, District 4 at the Parco Alcide Cervi in Reggio Emilia, already part of the project The Fountains of Za’atari exhibited at the Collezione Maramotti in 2019.
The above mention will be followed by a conversation of the artist with Michele Di Marco, CEO of the international organization EAHR – Emergency Architecture & Human Rights, in the Collezione Maramotti.
The project The Fountains of Za’atari is the result of a long work started by Moscardini in 2015 starting from the study of refugee camps as urban realities intended to last.
The artist carried out a census of the numerous fountains that over time were made in the camp by the refugees of Za'atari, in Jordan.
The project is a device designed to generate a sales system of sculptures that reproduce in scale 1:1 models of courtyard with fountain of Za'atari and may be acquired by administrations and institutions and presented in European public spaces.
Reggio Emilia is the first city that has created and adopted, thanks to the Collezione Maramotti in collaboration with the City, one of these fountains.
