<pre>This wall is located in the “Sperone” neighborhood on the outskirts of Palermo, a place full of contradictions and often forgotten by the institutions. In this neighborhood (except for schools) there are no spaces or parks for children where they can play.
The artist has dedicated this mural to all the boys and girls of his city, because he is convinced that if the change doesn't come from them, no change is possible.</pre><div><br></div>

Io SONO te

Daniela Balsamo

<div>Daniela Balsamo’s new artwork is an exploration of the complex and dramatic issue of domestic violence. &nbsp;<br><br>The mural, commissioned by the University of Palermo (Italy), focuses on the ways violence is often hidden behind apparent gestures of love. A man gifts a rose to a beautiful lady, luring her with his courteous and kind manners, while holding his dagger and getting ready to strike. In the meantime the sheep stands as a symbol of the naivety of all those people that condone and justify violence in the name of love.</div><div><br><br></div>

<div><br>Biagio Conte guarda lontano, se seguiamo il suo sguardo, è rivolto verso Montepellegrino che è per eccellenza, per noi palermitani, il Monte Sacro, quello che ospita il santuario di Santa Rosalia. Fratel Biagio era un pellegrino, è un pellegrino, ma tornando a Palermo aveva capito che la strada che doveva percorrere era molto più breve, era quella per arrivare al prossimo, al quale ha dedicato tutta la sua vita. Qui dove ho dipinto il muro all'inizio della sua missione Biagio ha eretto una croce, perché ha visto che questo luogo aveva bisogno di cura. Mi chiedo quanto è effettivamente cambiato questo luogo da 30 anni a questa parte, da quando è stata eretta quella croce? Quanto le amministrazioni hanno curato questo luogo? Noi siamo ancora qui, oggi, insieme a Biagio Conte in questo pellegrinaggio a puntare l'attenzione su questo luogo e continuiamo a dire che questo quartiere ha bisogno della cura di tuttiǝ ma se questa non arriva innanzitutto da chi ha il dovere di riservargliela vorrà dire che rimarrà un'azione vana. Questa non è soltanto un'opera di commemorazione, è anche una denuncia: nel dipingere fratel Biagio, come faceva lui con i suoi digiuni, vogliamo denunciare il fatto che questo luogo ha bisogno delle nostre attenzioni. È un atto politico e spirituale che rivendica la bellezza e la cura per un luogo e principalmente per le persone che vi abitano. Noi insieme a Biagio vogliamo stare con chi non è visto, chi è escluso, emarginato.<br>-----------------------------------------<br>"What remains after a storm"<br><br>Biagio Conte looks into the distance, if we follow his gaze, he is turned towards Montepellegrino which, for us Palermitans, is the Monte Sacro par excellence, the one that houses the sanctuary of Santa Rosalia. Brother Biagio was a pilgrim, he is a pilgrim, but returning to Palermo he understood that the road he had to take was much shorter, it was the one to get to the next, to whom he dedicated his whole life. Here, where I painted the wall at the beginning of his mission, Biagio erected a cross because he saw that this place needed attention. I wonder how much this place has actually changed in the 30 years since that cross was erected? How much have the administrations taken care of this place? We are still here today, together with Biagio Conte on this pilgrimage to focus attention on this place and we continue to say that this neighborhood needs everyone's care, but if this doesn't come first of all from those who have the duty to reserve it, it will mean which will remain a vain action. This is not only a work of commemoration, it is also a denunciation: in painting Brother Biagio, as he did with his fasts, we want to denounce the fact that this place needs our attention. It is a political and spiritual act that claims beauty and care for a place and mainly for the people who live there. Together with Biagio, we want to be with those who are not seen, those who are excluded, marginalized.</div>

The project, born from an idea of Igor Scalisi Palminteri and Andrea Buglisi, involved Alessandro Bazan, Andrea Buglisi, Angelo Crazyone, Fulvio Di Piazza and Igor Scalisi Palminteri who faced as many large walls located in the historic district of Ballarò / Albergheria. The monumental works have been conceived and designed to dialogue, each in its own way, with the urban fabric and the resident community of the neighborhood. Objective of the project: urban redevelopment through art, which is why squares were chosen that show signs of decay despite their great aesthetic and historical / cultural potential.</div>

<div>In rethinking a piece of this neighborhood,<br>I painted a fantastic river landscape where a Kingfisher stands in the center. Then herons, eels, frogs, water lilies and other examples of the flora and fauna that form the ecosystem of the Oreto river which is located a few meters below the place where the murals stand. The river, even if denied to the use of citizens, represents a very important natural resource for Palermo, the intent of this work is to at least create a visual link between it and the nearest neighborhood.<br>The intervention, which covers an area of ​​500 square meters, incorporating a bus stop and an old Enel tower, plays with design, but also wants to be, in flashes, ornamental and nostalgically retro. The original windows of the main building, shielded by square-shaped red metal filters, become a graphic motif of continuity even in the low walls. The pictorial story takes the form of a path that transforms itself in relation to the walls it encounters. Every living being, plant or fruit, seeks its place in the "habitat" we hope for, the one where man and nature can coexist in harmony.<br><br>Production:<br>Animal Hospital,<br>Cooperative Valle dell’Oreto.</div>

Habitat 

<div>Created by Andrea Buglisi alias BUG_.TV in 2019 and is a part of the MURI di MARE Project - New mural in Terrasini.<br>It represents a carpenter's vis that balances an egg.<br>One more turn of the screw and the egg would shatter, one less and it would fall.</div><div>It is a reflection on theissues of precariousbalance, resistance and contrast, but it also has a political meaning as the term "crackdown" generally refers to the increased punishment of a specific crime. Its use has become common in every human sphere when it comes to any hardening of a norm or a way of behaving. Its etymology derives from a type of death sentence practiced in Spain: the garrote. In this type of condemnation, infact, at every turn of the screw an iron circle tightened to the throat of the condemned man to the point of causing death by strangulation.<br><br></div>

It means the freedom to express yourself as you are.</div><div>Everyone has this strength, and this universality is made through two faces that do not belong to anyone in particular, realized through a technique typical of artists, that is to distort the facial features of pre-existing photographs for nullifying the boundaries between genders and the distinction between male and female.</div><div>The structure of the bodies recalls the feminine, and at the same time denies it. Freely showing armpit hair doesn’t meet a commonly acceptable beauty standard. In the artists’ imagery, there is no clearer symbol of true beauty, which at the same time includes fragility and strength.</div><div>The image is in motion, a sudden passage between the faces representing change and the absence of barriers. All genders are so expressed, as in transition, and at the same time, this image in transition nullifies every gender.</div><div>The bodies are immersed in a lake of colors, which is at the same time a link with the neighborhood’s architecture, and a liquid that envelops and submerges the body, and therefore reinforces the idea of constant change, which never makes us the same as ourselves. same.</div><div>The play has no title.</div><div>It will be the way, to which he belongs now, to nominate him.&nbsp;</div>
