Leonardi, Paola (2025) Participation to Alberi Festival as both organiser and artist running workshops. [Show/Exhibition]
Alberi Festival is the first architecture festival dedicated to trees, built around the idea that trees can be a model and a tool through which to investigate, design, and reorganize the contemporary city. Divided into four thematic areas (Knowing how to see trees, The metamorphoses of trees, The city of trees, Designing with trees), it offers keynote lectures, exhibitions with archival materials, multimedia installations, itineraries and guided tours, workshops for children and adults—all hosted in a series of pavilions, old industrial spaces, and public areas of the Villaggio Artigiano, which are transformed during the Festival week into a prototype of a "green village."
Alberi Festival is a project of the Municipality of Modena, created in collaboration with the Foundation Archivio Leonardi of which I am the vice-president. Partners include University of Modena e Reggio Emilia, Regional government of Emilia-Romagna and supported by Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea of Ministero della Cultura (Ministry of Culture of Italy)
Alberi Festival has run from 7th to 13th April and has seen a large influx of visitors, offering to a wide public talks workshops and exhibitions. Visitors have come from various part of Italy and even from abroad. Alberi Festival also had a partnership with Karlsruhe City of Media Arts.
I participate to Alberi Festival as both an organizer and an artist. I have participated in the planning, and I run the social media communication of the festival, and I will be also supporting the running of the events and supervision of the pavilion Casa-Studio Leonardi (Home-studio Leonardi, which is the headquarters of Foundation Archivio Leonardi, is one of the 4 pavilions of the festival).
Furthermore, I take part as artist, and I run 2 public facing Anthotype workshops; for these workshops I have produced a set of artifacts, a series of new anthotype prints that are a re-interpretation of the drawing published in the book “Architecture of Trees” by Leonardi-Stagi.
