And in the deep heart of the city, the courtyard of Palazzo Giovane, Fabbrica Europa will present in collaboration with the Department for University, Research and Youth Politics of the Municipality of Florence, the project Pomeriggi in città (Afternoons in Town) by art curator Pietro Gaglianò: Roots & Routes artists Olga Pavlenko and Pamela Barberi, together with other four young visual artists from Florence and surroundings working on the confrontation between different art languages (Marina Arienzale, Leone Contini Bonaccossi, Gaetano Cunsolo, Irina Kholodnaya), will propose five laboratories focused on issues connected to the encounter between different cultures, between politics and civil society, between public and private space.
