I tell you about the time I couldn't go back. An unconscious watershed event that spawned me, a rural creature of care among other.
A hybrid and itinerant event between the orchards and gardens of the Vicenza area, Meleagra is the first edition of Meeting Gardens Festival, a three-day showcase marking the beginning of the autumn season. Some of the agricultural realities of Vicenza form a critical and imaginative network through the widespread exhibition Uraura. Ci sono ancora semi da raccogliere e spazio nella sacca delle stelle, workshops, presentations, music, screenings, and performances that explore the sought-after and possible connection between art and rurality. A festival born from collective imaginations, from exchanges mediated by being together and practical action, in a sustainable and supportive key: Meleagra feeds on anti-nostalgic visions, activates sharp and never predictable contemporary perspectives, digs into the depths of the earth to reach the stars.
Artists of Uraura. Ci sono ancora semi da raccogliere e spazio nella sacca della stelle: Vittoria Assembri, Gabriele Biondi, Juri Bizzotto, Marina Cavadini, Giulia Deganello, Margherita Ferrari and Riccardo Fichera, Giulia Gaffo, Link Hg, Antonio Irre, Mirko Marcolin, Chiara Prodi, Tiziano Signorato, Marta Valpiana, and I-Chen Zuffellato.
