IOSONOVULNERABILE is a journey through art and vulnerability accomplished in several chapters. The project, which began last January in an artist’s residence at the former Pontifical Prison of Velletri, continues in Paris and will continue next November in Rome, at the Historical Museum of Villa Altieri. In the prestigious French setting, a group called 'living matter' artists will compose an expressive mosaic, using transdisciplinary formats and languages to explore the theme of human vulnerability as a tool for social and civil cohesion.

Painting-sculpture and photography-cinema will dialogue with reality, inviting the visitor to look beyond the nightmares of the twenty-first century and seek alternative futures. In the garden designed by the architect Luigi Moretti, the Communicating Artistic Organisms, , will evoke the 'ruins' of contemporary daily life, while natural light will highlight rare earth photographs, Immersed between decaying cells and writings engraved by the inmates. Music and sound, crucial elements of the installation, will accompany the audience in a complete sensory experience, inspired by the theories of Maurice Merleau-Ponty.

Among the artistic devices Jonchets, or Sciangai will be present, a collective work by young artists of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, which invites not to give up in front of contemporary social and environmental crises. It is up to all of us - they say - to try to walk away from the complexity of everyday life, one by one, as many fears and frailties as possible, seeking a movement of contact and e-motion.
