Tana per tutti – workshop in Italian Sign Language for sign language children aged 6 to 10

The Italian Contemporary Art Day involves museums, foundations, public and private institutions, galleries, studios and artists’ spaces throughout Italy to recount the vitality of contemporary art in our country. The guiding image for this 20th edition is the work Woman in a Cage (1975/2024) by Tomaso Binga (pseudonym of Bianca Pucciarelli Menna, Salerno, 1931).
