"Cultural Baggage" is a project that aims to foster meaningful relationships between students from Lucca and Frankfurt by exploring and interpreting each city's cultural heritage through personal perspectives and critical thinking.
The project encourages students to visit and reinterpret prominent landmarks, offering them the opportunity to filter historical and cultural meanings through their artistic lenses.
Following initial team-building activities, students will engage in painting sessions and multimedia workshops to provide a technical foundation, ensuring their unique perspectives remain unaltered.
Additional tours and less structured outdoor activities will further strengthen new friendships and deepen artistic sensitivity within the project's context.
Project of cooperative Art, which combines contents and styles inspired by Italian Primitivist artist Massimo Campigli and Catalan Surrealist painter Salvador Dalì.
This project has encouraged the students' creativity, cooperation and reciprocal cultural exchange to produce a 'Migratory Mural': in Girona the students have worked together in Italian - Spanish mixed groups to paint the first 20 canvases, dealing with Dalì's style, while the additional 20 canvases, dealing with Campigli's themes, have been painted here in Lucca.
The themes explored by the students were those of many of Dali's and Campigli's works, namely those of symbolism, memory, identity, the subconscious mind, the concept of internal time, the female figure, the appeal of primitive and ancient cultures.
"The project involves young Italian and Spanish musicians in an artistic and educational exchange experience focused on chamber music. During the program, students from both countries collaborate to prepare and perform musical repertoires ranging from classical tradition to contemporary compositions.
In addition to rehearsals and concerts, the project includes workshops, masterclasses led by professionals, and cultural exchange activities aimed at deepening mutual understanding of each country's musical and cultural traditions. The goal is to promote intercultural dialogue, artistic growth, and the creation of lasting connections through the universal language of music.
