SanPArt 2024 transformed Bari’s San Paolo neighborhood through 11 murals by international artists, creative workshops, and strong community participation. Promoted by Doc Creativity and Studio Progettazione IDEA, the project combined art and social engagement to explore themes like music, multiculturalism, and tradition. Beyond beautifying the area, SanPArt fostered pride and identity among residents, marking a milestone in the neighborhood’s cultural and urban revitalization.

Come può uno scoglio, arginare il mare?

Qui la scogliera è parte della terra, punto di contatto tra l’umano e il suo elemento naturale. È luogo di partenza, approdo, ma anche di incontro.
IOTA ha guardato attraverso la roccia, ha scavato nella porosità della pietra, ha cercato segni del tempo e ha trovato ricordi affioranti, memorie sommerse.
Sono finiti su un muro a futura memoria di chi, distratto, pensa siano “solo scogli”.

Come può uno scoglio, arginare il mare?
Non può, infatti. Non in Puglia, non a Bari.
Non al San Paolo.

How can a rock stem the sea?

Here, the cliff is part of the earth, a point of contact between humanity and its natural element. It is a place of departure, a landing place, but also a meeting place.

IOTA looked through the rock, dug into the porosity of the stone, searched for signs of time, and found surfacing memories, submerged memories.

They ended up on a wall as a reminder for those who, distracted, think they are "just rocks."

How can a rock stem the sea?

It can't, in fact. Not in Puglia, not in Bari.

Not at the San Paolo.
