Libri per bambini con il culto dell’immagine

05 December 2018 - 16 February 2019
Curated by Alessandro Dandini de Sylva and Cartastraccia

Fondazione Pastificio Cerere presents Libri per bambini con il culto dell’immagine (Books for children with the cult of image). This is an exhibition of photography publishing for children that includes publications from Giuseppe Garrera’s private collection and Fondazione Malaspina’s library; it is curated by Alessandro Dandini de Sylva and Cartastraccia.

The whole project has been conceived to deeply analyze the productive industry of the photography publishing for children; it focuses on the most cutting-edge experiences in the Italian and international scene from the Sixties to the current years. The project is an original work of specific census and research of this rich production for children, which Italy is lacking right now.

Beyond the exhibition, several workshops will take place: one with German artist Max Renkel, carried out in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut; an intercultural one in collaboration with the association Piuculture; and a series of visits for children led by the association Cartastraccia.
