i-Portunus Stories

Besides the festival and city mood, the festival exchange with the local Art residency in the forests of Massiaru has been super interesting. We had the opportunity to share and deepen the philosophical references of the work in a day of open talks and lectures with other practitioners both local and international.

Lorenzo Facchinelli

Besides particular knowledge, skills, methods and approaches in art I got many real social contacts with colleagues from different countries, which could lead to a more complete understanding of the place of art in the world.

Mariia Bakalo

The fact that the festival has its own audience and we weren’t asked to spend time promoting it and also the fact that we were financially supported by i-Portunus allowed us to really concentrate on the work and use beneficially the time of the residency.
