FRESCHE FRASCHE workshop

The FRESCHE FRASCHE workshop led by DEM resulted in the realization collective and participatory creation of a land art work at the entrance to the forest, concluding the long path of open meetings, workshops, events, and public art, for the creation of a space of integration, relationship and reconnection with nature, self and others.

“A broken gate is an open gate, a free and inclusive gateway to a place of sharing and immersion in nature.”

The artwork “Fresche Frasche” is part of the “Bosco di Cancello Rotto” project, funded by the POC Metro 2014-2020 under the POC_BA_I.3.1.e “Creative Regenerations” initiative of the Municipality of Bari.
