Atelier around the cribs by Maria Lai

Inside the program of tours and activities during F-light at Museo Novecento the cribs of Maria Lai are the protagonists – made made of terracotta, wood, cloth, wire, sand – that suggest a simple tale, symbolic and absolute, in which the sacred history becomes a metaphor for all the roots, of all the miracles and of all the ideals of humanity:

“by having kept the contact with my childhood, when I felt around me an invisible world more powerful than reality. It justifies the charm that still binds me to the tenderness of Christmas. What he had felt and what I continued to feel, more and more, is the need to question this misterious symbol that every year returns to an increasingly troubled world.” .” After an introduction to the exhibition, the kids with their families will be invited to realize their own crib, that can take away with them.

Please pay attention: it is necessary to carry an empty shoebox.
