Accepting to take part to the exhibition DoppioSenso organised by Libri Liberi my choise has been to
propose the Daily missal of my mother.

It was there, every night, as silent prence near my bed.

It has come forward and I have started my work without knowing the route I would have chosen.
I have left my thought to turn into ancient emotions, to guide my hand and my eyes.
In this way, every gesture, every sign, every passage tells what words will never say.

I was invited to take part to the collective exhibition NoPlace#4. I have presented the work “It’s no more”

“No Place” is a social experiment , a one-day exhibition/meeting. The structure of the event is based on the rhizome metaphor: there is no single curator that follows a single linear direction, but more points of origin that initiate connection in any direction. The rhizome structure allows connections from anywhere with any other point, and each one of these doesn’t necessarely refer to similar points. The rhizome destabilizes the hierharchical tree structure, with its established connections, and links very different and unpredictable points.  At the origin of the rhizome is the idea of Umberto Cavenago, developed with Ermanno Cristini, and consolidated with the partecipation of Ilaria Caldirola and Roberto Pacchioli, and numerous other artists/curators, who have shared and cooperated to the project.

We wanted to give voice with art,  to the problem of domestic and gender  violence, with the intent to act on the deep sphere of the symbols,  to investigate the mechanisms of a reality that every day repeats dramas that leave us dismayed and often powerless.

What does art have to do with this violence? We believe that it can move and change awareness, acting on emotions and reflection, feeling and thought, scream and reason.

Sometimes, art can be more effective than a speech, more introspective than a law, more lasting than a sentence. The important thing is that it has to do it “as Art”, with his own form and using his own languages, without trivialization. ”

Inside Palazzo degli Alessandri, a historic Florentine building, in a multi-purpose space where beauty and culture meet, Mimi Furaha hosts the exhibition “Sculptures-Bowls” of M: C: C: The artist presents an exhibition itinerary focused on the human figure and the nature. From the receiving earth (container sculptures) to the air that moves seeds of a hypothetical tree and papers on which the light stretch of a charcoal draws sequences of female bodies.

“Borgo Albizi, 35 red, by Mimi Furaha: once again, yesterday afternoon, a great cultural event took place in one of the most interesting and evocative” open “spaces of historic Florence, the one that spreads its arms between Piazza della Signoria and Santa Croce. The space wanted and restored by Michelle Brichieri Colombi, once an old warehouse and now an elegant and refined stage for cultural initiatives and courses; the artist, Maria Chiara Cecconì, a sure reality of the Florentine artistic scene.”
