Eva Maya’s art practice is based on the encounter with the Other. The artist uses an anthropological technique based on a participatory observation, which allows her to deeply connect with different human categories. Maya explores archetypical identity features such as femininity, masculinity, desire, power, success. Therefore identity becomes a multiplicity of meaning: “I would suggest the possibility to be more”.

Silvia Gribaudi
Roger Salas says about her in the Spanish newspaper El Paìs:”Silvia Gribaudi es una artista singular que cultiva el feísmo y un humor ácido; su llamativo físico ya va a contracorriente” [Silvia Gribaudi is a unique artist who cultivates the ugly-ism and a bitter humour; her showy physique is definitely against the current]
“As for Silvia Gribaudi’s A CORPO LIBERO…? Well, what can I write that could possibly do it
justice? It’s a manifesto for emancipation. It’s beautifully, minutely-observed. It’s uplifting,
charming, intoxicating and elevating. And it unabashedly celebrates humanity. And to be
completely honest, I don’t think in the entire festival I’ve seen a more beautiful human being onstage”.

The company Motus was founded by Enrico Casagrande and Daniela Nicolò in 1992. The group burst onto the scene in the Nineties with productions wielding great physical and emotional impact and has always anticipated and portrayed some of the harshest contradictions of the present day. Throughout the years, the group has created theatre shows, performances, installations and videos, conducted seminars and workshops, taken part in interdisciplinary festivals. They’ve received numerous acknowledgements, including three UBU Prizes and prestigious special awards for their work. Freethinkers, Motus have performed all over the world, from Under the Radar in New York, to Festival Trans Amériques in Montreal, Santiago a Mil (Chile), the Fiba Festival in Buenos Aires, Adelaide Festival in Australia or Taipei Arts Festival in Taiwan, as well as all over Europe.

Loredana Denicola
Loredana Denicola is a documentary photographer who lives in London. She uses photography as a tool for her personal evolution which began with the discovery of her ‘psychological structure’, and then comprehension and self – destruction, using her artistic work as a powerful means of self-analysis, creating dialogues between herself and others. “I am your mirror” photography project clearly represents this process in which, establishing an intimate connection with strangers found on Internet, Loredana employs Photography as a mirror to reveal some of repressing feelings of both parts involved (the stranger & photographer), freeing ourselves, temporarily, of automatic behaviors that from habituation we play to protect ourselves, acting roles in life, that are not part of us, only to be accepted from Society. The result? An attack to the Identity’s concept. With photography we can unlock doors but we can also disturb ourselves, as when we look in a mirror. Do we like what we see? Who are we?
