Dergano Aveva Sette Teste

Online

An AR animated painting born out of the exploration of the neighborhood and those who live in it

“Dergano Aveva Sette Teste” (Dergano Had Seven Heads) is a process of community creation. The youth of this Milan neighborhood have been the protagonists of territorial explorations, street interviews, artistic representations through painting and technology. Signs, colors, drawings, photographs, video interviews have become the coordinates of the complexity of the neighborhood and draw an artistic map of it that can orient the observer in the intangible local identities for an experience between art and research.

In the big neighborhood picture, residents have taken on the role of actors and spokespersons of their own selves and the very essence of the neighborhood in which they live or work. Using symbolic gestures, performances, and participation as extras, each person staged the great living representation of Dergano. The residents have been authentic performers giving voice to the stories, vitality and soul of the neighborhood. Each of them is a central element of the picture, bringing with them the richness of their experiences and the diversity of their voices.
Thanks to their active participation, the neighborhood painting comes to life and is transformed into a
collective celebration of identity and relationships.
