Stand Up For Africa 2019
Stand Up for Africa is an event including Tuscany based artist, African refugees and young people from Casentino. The artist installative performance is a response to a series of workshops. The artist identifies the concept of humanity and its’ reaction to separation by choosing to specifically focus on the decay of humanity. This is depicted in the poem she carefully stenciled to a thin wooden board placed on the floor of the gallery. She acknowledges borders by the perceived concepts of black and white while attempting to eradicate them at the same time. She uses tedious and repetitive labor by scrubbing the line created from the contrast of the black and white painted on the board. The artist's interest in the interaction of the audience, her goal is always to evoke emotions pertaining to the human being and the way the human state it perceived.
no matter how are you work to exclude me, to keep me out, to hurt me. no matter how many other humans you murder for your own comfort.
no matter if you say it is in the name of nationality, spirituality, or religion. no matter the pain we share as being part of a species so corrupt.
when the rise of the sun and the fall of the moon remain constant.
Can you explore human behavior if you are not human?
Movement: an act of changing physical location or position or of having this changed.
you will slowly drift to a grainy follicle resembling what is left from those decayed before you.
trying to see the real me.
