Restaura - Picinisco Rural Arts Residency
The art residency community is based in the Val Di Comino near Frosinone in Italy. It is situated in the heart of the geographic centre of Italy, with its outreach to be found at various locations throughout the Val Di Comino. It borders the Abruzzi National Park, principal links are with Rome 160 km and Naples 131km.
It aims to discover the overlooked, the liminal and the forgotten in a sparsely populated Italian hamlet and nearby village. The residency would like to draw on the rich historical past of the places as a source for inspiration. The main aim of the residency is to discover connections between the past, present and the future of these areas so as to encourage regeneration.
By looking at village life and all the different aspects of its Ecosystems - energy, water, nutrients, nature and looking in more detail at the spaces main characteristics including dwelling, social spaces, rituals, food production, animals, fauna and green spaces, we invite participants to investigate different aspects of village life each year.
We engage the artists to produce work in innovative ways. The location provides residents abundant resources to ground their research and practice.
