Art, Architecture and participation
With the screening project NAPOLI SENZA TITOLO, the PAN Documentation Center analyses thoroughly the relation between the city and its public space, emphasizing the transformations through time of this its public space, after the stimuli conveyed by the different cultural currents developed in Naples, creators of strong social and economic changes that have redefined through time their boundaries, symbols and identities. Changes that take shape particularly in the public space: it's here, in fact, that significances, social and cultural values stratify, the direct consequence of urban changes. By the use of more diversified languages, now usual at PAN Screening, NAPOLI SENZA TITOLO develops its course through the exposition of different ways of considering this space, relying on testimonies and documents taken from private collections and Neapolitan art archives, precious boxes where to extract artistic observations: some able to perceive and communicate, others already able to connote new ways of considering it.
