Olivia Paroldi carves pictures on linoleum, and then applies the prints obtained on the city walls. She presents herself this way: “I regularly say that the most important of my raw materials is my sensitivity as an artist, a woman and a mother. This is certainly the reason why human emotions related to the passage of time are very present in my work. It is this evocation of the "passage of time" that we have asked her to interpret from women's stories, from "passate di donne": we will bring together women aged 80 and over, witnesses of a bygone past, having experienced World War II, and then the transition from the twentieth to the twenty-first century, so that they give us their vision of things, and help us to sort out ideas or values, to throw them away or to preserve them.  

1. Corsican language and culture: this is the project designed for the Language Festival, "Trees, plants and poetry"

With this project, U Svegliu Calvese pursues a double goal:

• To honor the Corsican language in its relation to the land, and to art;

• Extend its scope of dissemination to a very diverse audience.

The Corsican language in its relationship to the land and art:

• October 1: Hike with Stephanie Orsini, doctor, host of the Facebook page: "Arburi è fiori di Corsica": discovery of coastal plants;

• October 11: Discovery of a territory, Calvi: Dominique Bianconi, toponymy (all public);

• October 15: treasure hunt (children)

• October 18: Discovery of the land in the forest of Bonifatu with the ceramic land-artist Cathy Astolfi;

• October 25: Discovery of edible plants with Francesca Desideri;

• November 7: Plants and poetry with Tittò Limongi for children; with Olivier Ancey and Jean-Yves Acquaviva for adults;

• November 14: plants in song: Atelier paghjella with A Filetta all day at the oratory of St. Anthony;

: this is the 2nd edition of the youth literature show.

It will take place on 26, 27 and 28 November 2020, at Fort Charlet, the headquarters of the Center for the Conservation and Restoration of the Corsican Heritage.

The 1st edition had taken place at the train station whose staff as well as the management of the Railways of Corsica had welcomed the animations and their animators!

This year again, the project has received the approval of the management of the Center, and therefore of the Community of Corsica to which it belongs.

We added a day so that a larger number of classes could be accommodated.

The chosen theme is illness, mourning, death, loneliness… etc. We will receive 6 authors / illustrators, and we will work in collaboration with the Cismonte Territorial Loan Media Library.

Programming is in progress. The show will be open to young theater with the programming of the play: "The moon of ripe berries" by the company Acrobatica Machina.
