Exhibition Italy. (In)visible stories, curated by Micol Di Veroli and Dominique Lora, presents the works of 15 contemporary Italian artists who, through four segments and through the appropriate medium, present one part of Italy’s intangible cultural heritage.

The Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska and the Italian Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina are organizing this exhibition within the European Cultural Heritage Days, a cultural event which is promoted by cultural institutions across Europe, with the Republic of Srpska participating for the eleventh time.

The exhibition is conceived as a multi-sensory journey into the heart and soul of Italy and the richness of this country's intangible cultural heritage and the core of what we call Italian. 

The artists followed the "Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage", which was ratified in Italy in 2007, and provides for a series of procedures for identifying, protecting and promoting intangible cultural heritage, which is not limited to monuments, but also traditions or living expressions inherited from ancestors, objects, rituals, crafts, practices, festive events.

In such a context of the nature and diversity of Italy's intangible heritage, it served as a source for creative exploration and as the basis for this exhibition. 

Italy.The (in) visible stories narrate un-encoded stories, records and represents unwritten memories interpreting the intangible heritage as a cultural passage, as a corpus of knowledge and skills and finally as an expressive diversity that, on an individual, regional and finally national scale composes the human mosaic of what we call Italian-ness or Italianity. 

The project evolves through multi-sound visual and audio effects that vary from famous processions to documentaries related to Italian traditional cuisine and music, all of which prompt the viewer to fully "surrender" to watching the exhibition. 

The artists: Tommaso Cascella, Gaia Scaramella, Flavio Favelli, Dario Ghibaudo, Silvia Giambrone, Maria Lai, Francesco Lauretta, Davide Monaldi, Luana Perilli, Roxy in the box, Marinella Senatore, Angelo Marinelli, Giuseppe Stampone, Sergio Tumminello, Zaelia Bishop.

This exhibition project is organized by the Glocal Project Consulting in collaboration with the Central Institute for Demo-Ethno-Anthropology and the Museum of Civilizations in Rome, and promoted by UNESCO and the Italian Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
