On the 23rd of June from 10:30 a.m., RAVE 2024 comes to life with the opening of the collective exhibition Under the same tree, within which the research residency of artist Camilla Alberti will be included.


The exhibition is physically rooted in the historic village of Soleschiano di Manzano, among the old stone houses and centuries-old plants. 
The participating artists are: Camilla Alberti, Antonio Bardino, Luchezar Boyadjiev, Loretta Cappanera, Simona Da Pozzo, Igor Grubić, Ilare, Ryts Monet, Liliana Moro, Ivan Moudov, Maria Elisabetta Novello, Penzo+Fiore, Anna Pontel, Fabiola Porchi, Laura Pozzar, Nada Prlja, Janis Rafa, Eleonora Rinaldi, Giuseppe Stampone.


The exhibition develops from sharing space and spending time with the animals and trees rescued and sheltered at RAVE, investigating contemporary posthuman and anti-human theories. The works, some already part of the RAVE collection, address the urgencies of our time, from environmental emergencies to the need to rethink ourselves as individuals and as species in relation to the rest of the living world through gazes of coexistence.


Deconstructing the dominant perspective axes turns out to be a complex exercise because of the multitude of imaginaries it traverses. This is precisely why the exhibition is articulated through the use of different media and the participation of artists with different paths and processualities. The works will be on view in different places around the village until September.
