Re-shoot, Re-wind, Re-handle, Re-imagine
On August 25, the Castello Sforzesco hosted a concert on climate change, accompanied by striking artistic interventions. Music ran as a thread through the day, engaging, connecting, and raising awareness.
Hearth Platform through four women artists works, explored fragility, vitality, and resilience, reflecting on humanity’s capacity to rebuild in the face of environmental crisis.
Anna Maria Angelucci juxtaposed PVC pipes — cold, empty symbols of industrialization — with Leonardo’s Codex Atlanticus, highlighting the tension between disposable material and enduring culture.
Simonetta Imperiali created white aerosculptures, inscribed with greenhouse gas data, illuminated at dusk with references to Leonardo’s Codex Leicester, linking past insights to today’s climate reality.
Cristina Pennacchi installed TIME IS UP, a monumental hourglass signaling that humanity’s time to act is running out, paying homage to Leonardo’s inventive genius.
Laura Gherardi presented Vanish, 10 Minutes of Wind, a video of a meadow slowly swallowed by fog, leaving only white emptiness and the sound of wind, a meditation on loss and impermanence.
Together, the works posed a question: can fragility be transformed into strength, like in the Japanese art of Kintsugi, and can humanity reimagine itself in the Anthropocene?
