Regeneration through the lens of contemporary art

The significant challenges that are defining our current era are a concern for every living being – humans, plants and animals – and require all of us to work together.

Contemporary art must also play its part – it has done so by lending the extraordinary ability that artists have to read the times we live in, to imagine the future and to turn thoughts and visions into expressive forms with a strong impact.

The regeneration discussed by Slow Food has been considerably boosted by the works of contemporary artists who support the communities of Terra Madre.

With the participation of:

• Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, director of the Castello di Rivoli Museo di Arte Contemporanea. In 2019 she was awarded the Audrey Irmas Award for Curatorial Excellence, the world’s most renowned celebration of curatorial careers.
• Otobong Nkanga, one of the most important international contemporary artists; her work focuses on urgent issues related to the ecological and environmental crisis, the exploitation of resources and sustainability, while investigating tales of colonialism and their consequences on the social fabric, and exploring new forms of material art.

Free entry while seats last. We advise you to arrive 10 minutes early to ensure a place.

Terra Madre Salone del Gusto is in Parco Dora, Turin, from September 22-26, 2022, with over 600 exhibitors and a series of workshops, conferences and tastings that show how we can regenerate our planet through food. #TerraMadre2022 is a Slow Food event.
