"A cura di". Contemporary art in medical establishments

For the 12th Giornata Nazionale dei Risvegli dedicated to coma research and entitled “Vale la pena” (It’s worth it), the festival of Contemporary art will present “A cura di”, a debate about the relationship between art and medical treatment. With this conference organised in collaboration with “Gli Amici di Luca” Association, the festival will promote a new opportunity for discussion about contemporary art, involving its relationship with hot social and current topics.

The conference, which will be held on October 7 from 3 pm to 6.30 pm at MAMbo, the Museum of Modern Art of Bologna, aims to encourage the debate on the role of contemporary art in medical establishments, thanks to the presentation of international experiences. The conference will focus not only on the idea of medical comas, but also the symbolic ones that concern all of us. In fact, the idea of a symbolic coma is synonymous with indifference, lack of interest and lethargy. Art has the ability to wake us up.
