2021
Seminaria Sogninterra turns ten years old.
Founded in 2011 in the village of Maranola, this small cultural association has made great strides, promoting contemporary art as a moment of difference and wonder, of relationships and sharing, through continuous dialogue with places and inhabitants. Instruments of this decade-long quest have been art residency programs, public art projects, educational workshops and, above all, the SEMINARIA Environmental Art Biennial.
For ten years, every two years, the village of Maranola has been transformed through the intervention of artists, musicians, curators and volunteers. Thousands of visitors have walked through the alleys and open houses for SEMINARIA. A wide network of collaborations of local, national and international importance gave breath to this remote biennial of environmental art between the Aurunci Mountains and the Gulf of Gaeta, winner of multiple awards and presented as a case study in universities and research centers around the world.
In 2021 the SEMINARY Biennial returns for its sixth edition, aiming to renew and rethink its nature, which has always been attentive to the relationship with the community of reference. The current uncertainty has indeed placed many constraints on the possibility of imagining distances, concrete or virtual, but this cannot preclude the opportunity to perceive the limit not as a constraint, but as a means of becoming virtuous interpreters of one’s own time.
Given these considerations, the title of the sixth edition of the SEMINARY Biennial is “indivenire“ and encapsulates the idea of a program that follows a slower and more reflective rhythm of creation and fruition, all in becoming, in fact.

From June to September 2021, SEMINARIA offers artistic residencies, temporary and permanent works, exhibitions, performances, talks, music, education, guided tours; in-person and remote appointments that take into account the need to re-schedule offerings to meet the needs of a social fabric strongly marked by a sense of abandonment and discouragement toward the future.
Starting in June, artists Andrea Aquilanti, Sara Basta, Carlo De Meo, Sarah Deslandes, Davide Dormino, Daniele Spanò, and Ellen Wolf will be in residence in Maranola, invited to imagine the future together with the community and to elaborate, through the different languages of art, the unease and fear that the pandemic has disseminated. The works, produced with the help of local residents and artisans, will be released little by little in the public space of the village of Maranola. The first work, created by Daniele Spanò, will be inaugurated on July 24 and will be viewable throughout August by reservation. The program indivenire, with the inauguration of the other works and the dates of the various events, will be revealed little by little on social channels and on the website.
Once again this year SEMINARIA aims to establish creative dialogues with related realities and other festivals in the area and beyond. The collaboration with the long-running Salerno Literature Festival will lead videomaker and storyteller Raffaele Morrone to the creation of an unpublished and collective story for SEMINARIA. A fruitful exchange of ideas and artists will be activated with Gaeta Jazz Festival and the Full of Beans Association, which has just been awarded by the Lazio Region’s call for proposals Vitamina G.
