:AFTER Festival diffuso di architettura in Sicilia has been the first festival of architecture in Sicily that proposes a multidisciplinary analysis of the architectural structures that has characterised the last 100 years (1922-2022) on the island.
AFTER HISTORY means reviewing and rewriting a part of Sicilian history to which little attention has been paid, valorising its heritage and attempting to transform a romanticised vision that proliferates in the representation of an underdeveloped and backward South, at the same time stratified by cultures and dominations.
AFTERLIFE means starting again with a new form of historicisation in order to change the point of view and investigate the possibilities of the area by offering a second life to its architecture. The Festival included explorations around 10 different cities and performances, music and talks.
Curatorial Team:
Pietro Airoldi, Lisa Andreani, Jacopo Costanzo (WAR), Zeno Franchini (LOTS/Marginal), Francesca Gattello (LOTS/Marginal), Valeria Guerrisi (WAR) e Izabela Anna Moren (FSR).
The project was the winner of the public call ‘Festival Architettura – II edition’ promoted by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture.
