The project ‘Write Your Neighbourhood. #SerrandeApertePerLaScrittura’ envisages transforming the shutters and shop windows of the Barca neighbourhood of Turin into a new space in which to trace an innovative tale of the territory, choosing and transcribing the neighbourhood’s history in a figurative and written manner. The choice of the shutters is intended to be evocative of a pact between culture and the territory as a key to cohesion during the pandemic and rebirth after the crisis. Project financed by the Compagnia di Sanpaolo Foundation.
