Public Spaces

Front of Art presents the public art project “Public Spaces = A Place For Action”, that aims to raise awareness among citizens towards the conservation, repossession of public spaces.

“Public Spaces = A Place For Action” is a project that by means of public art aims to raise awareness among citizens and especially young people in smaller places towards the conservation, repossession and the wise use of public spaces and public goods (squares, parks, roads, natural environment) of their territory in favour of a sustainable cultural and economic development.

The project offers a comparison between two territorial realities, Italy and Lebanon, to compare the concerns and the common issues that small towns have on either shore of the Mediterranean by involving the centre of Roccagloriosa in the province of Salerno and Bcharre, the mountain village in the north of Lebanon.
