On October 21 the exhibition “Terre vulnerabili (vulnerable land) opened in the center Hangar Bicocca in Milan, which is part of a four-sample exhibition project, which will take place until May 29, 2011.
To explore closely the growth of a living organism, each of these exhibitions is devoted to a stage in the life of an organism. This way the project seeks to recognize the concept of vulnerability not only in physical-biological terms, but also in moral terms. Vulnerability seen as the unusual ability to empathize and to enable all people to recognize and accept their moral responsibility towards others, the community and the environment.
Thus, the project is understood as a work in progress, developing over time, an organism that grows in front of the public eye. This way, it also intends to develop new discourses and modes of action with respect to the vulnerability of land, especially focusing on its political and ethical dimensions.
In that sense, this project encourages reflection and notions of responsibility, like hope, utopia and feasibility of a sustainable future. With the participation of 30 Italian and international artists and the same number of works, it will explore the possible future, which certainly promises something better than this.
But the exhibition not only explores the vulnerability of the land itself, but also our bodies, adding a more personal property to the project theme. The dilution of borders and ethnic groups, the mixture of languages, bring out this vulnerability.
