TEMPORA/CONTEMPORA #6 - COMING SOON

Beyond Borders.

Here we are in the sixth year of programming with Tempora Contempora Fest, which remains a special event in the artistic calendar of the city and the region for many reasons.

True to AMA’s mission—to train, nurture, and discover young talents, we give voice and space above all to a new generation of artists and performers, still unknown to the wider public and the media.

The distinctive feature of Tempora Contempora Fest is its international dimension and its multidisciplinary identity, which we intend to preserve and further develop. Our idea of art and performance thrives on the freedom to explore vast horizons—beyond all kinds of borders, beyond all mental and physical fences, and beyond canonical disciplines.

Contemporary artistic languages travel on waves of connection and interconnection that are not only digital or artificial, but deeply human and physical—because the bodies that will take the stage sing, dance, speak, see and are seen, and above all, come together as a community, a polis, networks of relationships, desires and dreams.

And special, too, are the places we will inhabit on a journey that, through original and new artistic visions, transports us from a distant past to the present.

We will move on foot or by bicycle, from Convitto Palmieri to the former Conservatorio San Leonardo, from Palazzo Bernardini to Palazzo Tamborino Cezzi, from Palazzo Turrisi to the Castromediano Museum to the small church of San Giovanni di Dio.

We wish the many artists arriving from South Korea, Spain, France, Albania, Kosovo, and Serbia a peaceful and fruitful stay in our surprising city. And to everyone, we extend our hope that Tempora Contempora Fest will be a regenerative exercise in healing the many wounds that the present brings.
