Tricromia International Art Gallery - which is celebrating  more than 30 years of activity - was one of the first in Italy to deal with comics and illustration when these languages were not yet fully legitimized in the cultural discourse. Today it is a home gallery, a combination of the private space of its founder' house, Giuseppina Frassino, and the public space of the gallery. While retracing the history of Tricromia and its space, Frassino and a group of artists who have collaborated with her over the years tell the story of Italian comics as well.

The talk will be in Italian.

Two emerging cartoonists, Adriana Marineo and Tereza Šiklová, living in Bologna and Tábor, exchanged cities for a month thanks to the residency-exchange programme born out of a collaboration with Czech Literary Centre, a branch of the Moravian Library in Brno. The result of  their experience is These two..., a visual dialogue between Italy and the Czech Republic.

The talk will be in Italian and English.

Cartoonist Eliana Albertini and photographer Valentina D'Accardi built an artistic projetc together, on the invitation of Ad occhi aperti, starting from the things they have in common. Both artists deal with familiar and private places that appear difficult to inhabit by virtue of the memories they hold. The result of their work is Senza essere visti,  an installation that investigates the intimate dimension of living. Together with Federica Lucchesini, director of "gli Asini" magazine and Marco Libardi, who co-curated the installation with them, the two artists talk about their poetics and their collaboration.

In his comics, Jérôme Dubois's draws with extreme attention to detail a world in ruins. Nicolò Porcelluzzi's research moves between history, science, and the arts to investigate the imaginaries that are taking shape around the idea of a world that is no longer habitable. Together, they discuss the possibilities of storytelling during an environmental, philosophical, social and moral upheaval investing every aspect of living.
