WOW

Maintaining the South American tradition of social and political muralism, Bastardilla is one of the few artists who still uses public spaces to directly stand against the inequalities of modern society.
Her works speak of feminism, solidarity, boundaries to be broken, and connections to be made. The history of Palazzo Monacelle, one of the first female music conservatories in Puglia, as well as its role in providing civil and religious education to young girls who were orphaned or abandoned, also carries the value of music and art for the emancipation of people.
During her residency in Casamassima, thanks to her interaction with the working group and all the citizens she met, Bastardilla brought to life a story on the wall of the former prison, where male wolves are unable to eat the monacelle, who float and liberate themselves to the music they play.

“WOW – Women on walls” is a public art project funded by the STHAR LAB notice of the Puglia Region and entrusted by the Municipality of Casamassima to the cultural association Pigment Workroom, in collaboration with the artist Bastardilla, the “Complesso delle Monacelle” Municipal Library, ziczic, Cime, Kaufman creative writing, and the Mammachilegge bookstore.
