one not to miss if in Rome tonight: Hidden Cities & Hybrid Identities

Hidden Cities & Hybrid Identities, an international videoart festival and photography exhibition, will be held at the beautiful place of our friends in Rome,  The Ripa Hotel & Riparte Cafè. The venue of the event, will open its doors on Friday, July 06th until Sunday, July 08th.

Forty-one artists, twenty-six video artists and fifteen photo artists from different countries have been selected to be part of this project.

The selection, curated by Fabiana Roscioli and Luca Curci, has been based on the concept of “Hidden Cities & Hybrid Identities” that analyses the hybridization of physical and socialidentities in the contemporary cities.

The theme is about all the cities and places around the world. The colors of the hidden cities with his hybrid Identities merge: the day and the night, the neon light that illuminates the facades, the patchwork ofcontaminations, the passers, layers from top the bottom, undergrounds, built geometric shapes in which to play and invent memories. The urban landscape,and his human bodies, is not only formally captured but also perceptually. Its dynamics and features: into excess, in the immobile, or in the unfinished.
