The workshop explores two different conditions of sound experience: resonant sound, capable of propagating through space, and dry sound, which coincides with the action itself. Through exercises in listening, movement, and sound practice, participants will be invited to develop a sensitivity toward the way the body produces, modifies, and inhabits sound. Listening thus also becomes a form of contact: attention to friction, pressure, duration, and the relationship between gesture, space, and matter.
The workshop will include Ali Hierax by Francesco Toninelli, created for Una Boccata d'Arte 2026: wing-flags conceived as devices for interacting with the element of air. Their collective use will make it possible to connect individual sensory experience with the dynamics of group performance, transforming the participants' movement into a single sonic and perceptual organism.

On the occasion of the closing event of Una Boccata d'Arte, the artist will present the publication Perché non dovrei vagare per i pascoli a cercare il vento? together with the publishing house ziczic.

The closing event includes a guided tour of Rebecca Moccia's project for the Municipality of Cusano Mutri, Anche Noi (Nostalgia Radicale), together with curator Giulia Pollicita. The tour will serve as preparation for a working group that will take part in a workshop, planned for the coming months, to activate and discuss one of the works on display. The guided tour will start from the Municipality's headquarters and then move to the rooms on the upper floor of the Library.

On the occasion of the closing event of Una Boccata d'Arte, the public will be guided through a discovery of the works by Caterina Gobbi created in Andreis. The route will start from the Visitor Center, continue toward the town fountain, and conclude at the Chiesetta di San Daniele, passing through the places that shaped the project Raccontami di quando tornando dalla fontana.

Renato Grieco and Banda Galliano "la 33" present Doppiopasso, an investigation at the intersection of public space, practices of bodily attunement, and musical composition for acoustic instruments. Similarly to Continua - Renato Grieco's intervention for Boccata d'Arte in the hamlet of Mare in Lugo di Vicenza - the performance is not limited to simple musical execution: it becomes the pivot of a composition made of proximity, bodies, and postures. Those who play create a relationship with the public space and read it through their own choices of movement.

On October 3rd at 6:30 PM at Palazzo Milio, artist Irene Macalli will retrace the participatory process that led to the creation of the public installation Qui il vento ricorda per noi. Through a workshop open to the community, words, signs, and images were traced onto transparent surfaces using glass paint, giving shape to personal memories, fragments, and presences. Born from the encounter with the community of Ficarra, the work offers itself as a space for meeting and contemplation, a device capable of connecting past and future. The closing event will be an occasion to present the publication released by Pungitopo.

On the occasion of the closing event of the project "Piedi caprini, capelli di polpo", Maja Escher has envisioned setting in motion a walk through the streets of Borgo Marano together with the boys and girls from the elementary school she worked with to create the terracotta tiles placed on various walls throughout the village. The children will act as guides, telling the stories of the drawings and the thoughts connected to each image.

On October 2nd, on the occasion of the closing event of Mi aspetto che il sole mi illumini ancora, Come se will be presented, an artist's book born from the encounter with Piera Masala and the shared experience in Monteleone Rocca Doria during Una Boccata d'Arte. The volume weaves together photographs, family archives, poems, and drawings, moving through memory, territory, and community, and putting what has been into dialogue with what can still happen.

TO RIVER by Vasilis Papageorgiou, curated by Sofia Baldi Pighi, tells the story of the relationship between the Tramazzo stream, the local territory, and the memory of the Tredozio community. On the occasion of the event, the publication dedicated to the work will be presented, produced with graphic design by Habitat (Ufficio Creativo). Like the sculpture, the booklet also weaves together copper, rust printing, and Romagna tablecloth fabric, opening and closing just like a real tablecloth.

With the rangers of Parco Adda Sud, we will take a walk to discover the flora and fauna of the terraced riverbank, hearing about the challenges and issues of the area, which runs alongside the fields cultivated by local farmers.

Three days of meetings with the artist Irene Macalli to reactivate the sense of co-creation that emerged in 2012 with Ficarra libro mio. Participants will rediscover their connection to the local territory, transforming the memory of the book into a new shared creative process. The workshop will involve writing and drawing on transparent tiles using glass paints. These future memories will then be symbolically lifted into the wind through the installation Qui il vento ricorda per noi, conceived for Piazza delle Logge.

A workshop exploring the ecological, social, and symbolic dimensions of water as a collective resource, moving through places shaped by the presence of water, including springs, paths, and sanctuaries. The journey opens up a discussion on themes such as the privatization of resources and the relationship between territory and community, with the aim of collectively reflecting on a shared ephemeral architecture within the rock shelter space of Sa Corona de sa Buvera.

Through practices of listening, walking, and sensory mapping, participants in the participatory workshop led by Enrico Malatesta and Chiara Pavolucci will explore the territory through sound, co-creating maps made of perceptions, memories, and acoustic traces. The body and movement become tools of relation, and the landscape reveals itself as a shared, situated, and constantly evolving experience.

Terra e fogu is a demonstrative workshop dedicated to the traditional firing of clay over an open flame. Through the lighting of two bonfires, Ilare will guide the audience through the different stages of the process, from preheating to the final firing. A moment of observation and listening that restores the ancestral value of material transformation.

The workshop invites the inhabitants of Pofi to engage in dialogue with the students of the Academy of Fine Arts of Frosinone, sharing family memories and recollections of everyday life: gestures, objects, memories, sensations. Together with the students, these stories will become a large painted canvas, transforming memory into living, collective matter.

The children of the primary school and the elderly residents of the nursing home are involved in an imaginative workshop of speculative archaeology. The artist’s aim is to open a playful dialogue with them in order to give a face and a body to the Goddess Cupra, reconnecting participants with local history and exploring where their imagination may lead them.

Produced for the sixth edition of Una Boccata d’Arte (2025) and created in Miglionico, the work becomes part of the museum’s permanent collection, expanding the project’s artistic itinerary.

The extra-urban territory, often excluded from the dynamics of the art system and the cultural logic of major cities, has taken on greater relevance and interest in recent years, becoming central to contemporary artistic discourse concerned with the urgency of environmental challenges, reflections arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need to rethink the relationship between art, audiences, and territory.
