ANIMA MUNDI: Liminal Realities

ANIMA MUNDI: LIMINAL REALITIES
From 16 to 31 May 2021

"The soul of our civilization depends on the civilization of our soul. The imagination of our culture requires a culture of imagination ".

In an era marked by a growing attention to issues related to the anthropocene, the artificial and technological manipulation of the plant world, wars, violence against women, the migration issue, etc., this research aims to find that cure for ills of the world, hidden in the sacredness of things, in the reality that transcends this reality, in that natural magic that is not a primitive form of science but a different conception of one's being. We therefore need a new dawn, which illuminates this desperate humanity that really does not seem to want to be healed.

The exhibition aims to represent - through the works of artists - the concept of ANIMA MUNDI in the contemporary world, expressed by philosophers such as James Hillman, which invites us to reflect on the many clichés of Western culture and to overturn their values ​​and meanings. He offers us precious tools to better interpret the evils that afflict our age but also the possibility of understanding and cultivating a different man, more respectful of himself, of others and of the world in which he lives.

The Renaissance venue of the Palmieri’s Foundation - a deconsecrated church that bears the name of San Sebastian - will be the perfect place to combine the ancient with today world, the past with the present, the sacred with the pagan. Free interpretation
