Bus shelter Modigliani high school
date of the event
June 2025
in collaboration with
Liceo Modigliani
The Padua Civil Airport has let a disused shelter to creativity. Located in the urban area pertaining to it, looking at the traffic circle where Via Sorio begins just down from the Brusegana overpass. A place of intense city traffic, perfect for free and unconditioned enjoyment. An opportunity for Modigliani High School students to experience site-specific art in their own city. The working group will consist of eight students; these, in addition to creating the papier-mâché form, will have to document the work, create content for social media and a video to be broadcasted on Marcolongo's screen by the side of the road.
for a transversal peace
A large paper mache figure of an ordinary person breaks through the nonexistent roof of the canopy and rests his hands on the horizontal structure; the figure stands out peacefully in the visual space of the roundabout. Perched on the figure is a white dove proportionate to the size of the sculpture. This can be symbolically traced back to the iconographic representation of St. Francis, who symbolizes a transversal peace: between peoples and between man and nature.
