KORA – Contemporary Center
Via Vittorio Emanuele 19, Castrignano dè Gregi.
KORA, the leading contemporary art center in southern Italy, continues its series of artistic presentations. On Monday, December 29th at 6:30 PM, artist Federico Rizzo will unveil “Memories from the Underground.” This work is a key component of the Unwritten Memories residency program, supported by Ramdom APS as part of the “Notice for artistic residencies of contemporary art in Puglia 2025.”
Delving into the Depths of Grecìa Salentina
Rizzo’s installation is a unique blend of sound and edible art. It aims too illuminate the hidden world beneath Grecìa Salentina – the quarries, ancient oil mills, unseen waterways, and the enduring oral histories woven into the collective memory of the region.
Rizzo follows in the footsteps of previous residency artists Nikola Filipović and Sunaina Talreja, continuing the program’s commitment to innovative contemporary art.
