Why enter? What do I expect to see? See. I check what’s in the world. What remains. What is discarded. What no longer belongs to the heart. What had to be sacrificed. What someone thought might interest someone else. But it’s junk. If it’s here, it’s already been sifted through. But there could be something of value here. Not of value, not exactly. But something I might want. Want to save. Something that speaks to me. To my desires.
The transdisciplinary performative practice ‘iosonovulnerabile’ is the latest testimony to the historical heritage of the former Pontifical Prison of Velletri, which remained intact for two centuries before undergoing an irreversible transformation.
The past left deep marks, messages of suffering and imprisoned hope, like an unheard prayer. These signs between people and things should not be ignored. Art reveals to the world the hidden energy in places of vulnerability. Sergio Mario Illuminato, curator.
IOSONOVULNERABLE is the right opportunity to reflect, outside conventional spaces and habits, on the essence of human nature, its vulnerability, the value of sharing and the role of communities. The original visual narrative and artistic expression curated by Sergio Mario Illuminato offers a special and exciting look at the transformative power of art in unique historical, cultural and social contexts. The Metropolitan City of Rome Capital has recognized the value of this project and granted it its patronage. Pierluigi Sanna Deputy Mayor of the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital
We are witnessing this rebirth thanks to art. It is culture and art itself that make us understand, that open our eyes to what has been and what it can become. Thanks to Sergio Mario Illuminato, the history of this building comes to life. Chiara Ercoli Deputy Mayor, Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Velletri
