KIDS — I want a monument! by Irene Pittatore
23/03/2023
Let’s build colorful, playful, curious, and fierce monuments together.
The workshop proposed by Recontemporary, scheduled for Saturday, March 23, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, as part of the *Monumenta Italia* exhibition by Irene Pittatore, is designed for children aged 4 to 10.
In these two hours, participants will use creativity and imagination to rethink the many monuments that fill the city’s streets and gardens. Recontemporary will become a space to design new shapes and tell new stories.
The workshop will be led by the Recontemporary staff, with the presence of the artist and curators. A parent’s attendance is required. All materials are kindly provided by Carioca Italia.

Irene Pittatore
Irene Pittatore (Turin, 1979) is a visual artist and performer whose work explores, through playfulness and the creation of spaces open to gentle collisions, possible forms of sisterhood and solidarity to counter the isolation and precarity that accompany artistic and social work in our time. She employs various visual, narrative, and participatory tools to create works that reflect on marginalization, discrimination, and their symptoms from a feminist and intersectional perspective.
Her projects, addressing gender violence (*L’amavo troppo e le ho sparato*), diversity and inclusion (*You as me / Nei panni degli altri*), housing insecurity (*Homeless heroines*), body positivity (*Floating portraits*), and remote photography (*From a distance*), develop in collaboration with museums, festivals, universities, and non-profit organizations. These include Politecnico di Torino, Università degli Studi di Torino, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin), Camera – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia (Turin), Museo di Fotografia Contemporanea (Cinisello Balsamo, Milan), Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani (Palma de Mallorca), Capacete (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo), Festival Jeu de l’Oie (MUCEM and Aix-Marseille Université), Biennale des Jeunes Créateurs d’Europe et de la Méditerranée, and the 12th Bienal de la Habana OFF.
