And then there is MATRES, a place where artworks foster encounters, dialogues, and relationships. Conceived and organized by APS Pandora Artiste Ceramiste ETS, the MATRES Festival is now one of the most important international events dedicated to contemporary women\u2019s ceramics. Born from the desire to give voice to the talent, research, and vision of women in ceramics, over the years it has become a cultural laboratory open to the world, capable of connecting artists, institutions, museums, designers, artisans, scholars, and communities through the universal language of clay. MATRES does not merely celebrate ceramics: it celebrates the value of care, memory, sharing, and creativity as tools for dialogue between cultures. It is a festival built on the energy of women, on collaboration, and on the strength of an international network that grows year after year, transforming every gathering into an opportunity for human and artistic exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 edition, titled CIBUM \u2013 Nourishing the Form, Nourishing the Earth, draws inspiration from the ancestral relationship between food and ceramics: two elements that have accompanied human history since its very beginnings. Nourishment thus becomes a metaphor for knowledge, hospitality, identity, and sustainability, while the vessel, the plate, the bowl, and the table speak to the universal need to share, preserve, and pass on traditions. Over 180 female artists from around the world will present more than 400 works, creating a widespread itinerary that winds through some of Campania\u2019s most significant sites, weaving together contemporary art, historical heritage, archaeology, landscape, and the ceramic tradition. Cava de\u2019 Tirreni is the heart of the Festival, with the San Giovanni Monumental Complex and the city\u2019s public spaces hosting exhibitions, competitions, installations, workshops, performances, and events. Vietri sul Mare, the city that symbolizes Italian ceramics, engages with the Festival through its extraordinary artistic heritage. Naples, with the Duca di Martina Museum in Villa Floridiana, hosts an exhibition dedicated to the ritual of tea and the dialogue between East and West. Pontecagnano Faiano, at the National Archaeological Museum \u201cGli Etruschi di Frontiera,\u201d connects archaeological heritage with contemporary design. Serre\u2013Persano, between the Palazzo Ducale and the WWF Oasis, invites visitors to reflect on the relationship between nature, biodiversity, peace, and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International exhibitions, urban installations, participatory performances, workshops, conferences, competitions, social gatherings, and opportunities to connect transform the Festival into an immersive experience that brings together artists and audiences across all boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joining MATRES means becoming part of an international community that chooses art as a language of peace, ceramics as a reminder of the earth, and culture as nourishment for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because every form springs from the earth. Every gesture holds a story. And every encounter can become a seed capable of bringing forth beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OFFICIAL PROGRAM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tuesday, August 25, 2026 \u2013 Earth, Origins, Rituals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#ff00d0\"><a><strong>Prefestival in Naples \u2013 Afternoon &amp; Evening<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>16:00<\/strong> \u2014 Shuttle\/bus service reserved for guest artists \u2013 from Cava de\u2019 Tirreni to Naples, Corso Principe Amedeo 190.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>6:00 p.m.<\/strong> \u2014 <strong>Prefestival Opening \u2013 \u201cArt\u00e8.

On the one hand, they decorate plates, bowls, bottles, and other containers, transforming everyday ceramics into unique pieces through colors, patterns, and motifs inspired by the theme of nourishment. On the other hand, they sculpt raw clay live, creating bread, fruit, vegetables, fish, desserts, and other symbolic foods that, one by one, come to adorn the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The public also plays a central role in the artwork. Children, families, and visitors are invited to participate by shaping small clay elements that will become part of the collective installation, transforming the creative act into a shared experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the course of the evening, the table is transformed: from an empty space, it becomes a large, vibrant dining hall, created by the hands of artists and citizens. Every decorated object, every shaped piece of food, and every small contribution tells a story of care, hospitality, and belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The performance celebrates food not only as nourishment for the body, but as a universal language capable of bringing together people, cultures, and generations. Art thus becomes a shared experience, a meeting place where creativity transforms into connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the event, the installation reveals to the public the deeper meaning of the work: the \u201cEmpty Table\u201d does not represent what is missing, but rather everything we are capable of giving to one another<strong>.<\/strong> Because a table isn't just filled with bread, dishes, or food\u2014it's filled with the hands, stories, and people who, together, choose to set it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Friday, August 28, 2026 \u2013 Memory and Universal Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Vietri sul Mare \/ Pontecagnano Faiano<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>9:30 a.m. \u2013 Cucuteni Pottery: Form, Symbol, and Ritual | curated by Sandrina Mihalache<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Location: Vietri sul Mare, Bottega 5 Creative Hub by Mara D\u2019Arienzo (5 Via XXV Luglio), in collaboration with the City of Vietri sul Mare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>6:00 p.m. \u2014 PONTECAGNANO FAIANO | \u201cEtruschi di Frontiera\u201d National Archaeological Museum\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Food has never been merely sustenance.
