Dialogos is a collaborative art project, a dialogue between artists and a kind of a chess game halfway between a collective installation and a performance.
It focuses on the development of an artistic practice based on continuously negotiating knowledge, choices and awareness; it has led to an experience that has flourished between artists who choose themselves for elective affinities or interfacing trajectories in their artistic paths.
This project started in 2011 in Milan (Italy), continuing in Bellinzona (Switzerland, 2013), Olomouc (Czech Republic, 2017) and again in Milan (2018), in Liebefeld (Switzerland, 2021); it is now deploying in its sixth edition between Italy and Kenya, in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in Nairobi.
Some of the Italian artists have traveled to Nairobi to meet their Kenyan colleagues: an exchange of materials and suggestions among all the participants will take place in a physical space open to the public, then the dialogue will follow in this shared, online document which will become the foundation for a future publication.
Dialogos Part Six includes the participation of:
Umberto Cavenago, Onyis Martin, Giancarlo Norese, Longinos Nagila, Beatrice Polato, David Thuku, Luisa Turuani in Nairobi and remotely of Cesare Biratoni, Sergio Breviario, Giuseppe Buffoli, Ermanno Cristini, Luca Scarabelli
