Why are collaborations with territories, companies, schools and institutions, today more than ever, fundamental to define new paradigms of exchange and sharing, between art, society and citizenship?
Can be defined a social role of the artist and analyzed his/her ability to generate added value and, at the same time, to catalyze resources and interests from subjects outside the sector, thus contributing to helping people to work towards a common interest?

These are the starting questions of the workshop curated by Giacomo Zaganelli, who will offer participants the opportunity to deepen and investigate the potential offered today by the figure of the artist who works towards the collectivity and on the sense of social usefulness of its work.
The workshop will take place at the Manifattura Tabacchi Firenze on 05 and 06 October and it will end with a public talk on 07 October at the FESTA space.
Giacomo Zaganelli’s research “L’artista per la collettività” is a project supported by the Italian Council (10th edition, 2021), program to promote Italian contemporary art in the world by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture.
