August 25 - 28, 2022- Matres Festival - San Giovanni Monumental Complex - Cava de' Tirreni
WOMEN'S POTTERY COMPETITION EXHIBITION: "VISIONS" - I Edition of the MATRES PRIZE.
Edited by Anna Rita Fasano, Miriam Gipponi, Amalia Ferrigno
The exhibition "VISIONS" aims to highlight the excellence of the territories pertaining to women ceramic artists around the world, and helps to strengthen the "Women's Ceramics Project." The original project of APS PANDORA ARTISTE CERAMISTE , makes the conscious use of ceramics the medium and tool with complex value, for the dissemination of a cultural process of women's change for a new society.
"Natura naturantis" is the epicenter toward which the artists have turned their gaze with their works in the exhibition.
" It is on this thematic centrality that Pandora's women ceramists have worked with their minds, with their own spirituality and using the skill of their hands. They have all also been aware of how much closer women are to the rhythms and cycles of the earth by being generative as well, how her body itself teaches her to understand and accompany natural processes and that this makes her predisposed to welcoming. The great mother in archaic civilizations was loved and honored, she was present in almost all mythologies and embodied the feminine as a mediator between the human and the divine: woman still today can find a way for growth because she is capable by her very nature of creating pathways of protection for all things." (Gabriella Taddeo)
