Dominican Republic Pavilion in Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello
The luxuriant nature of the Dominican Republic inspires a multiplicity of powerful emotional reactions, from the wonder that is felt before its shining beauty, to the vague anxiety that prefigures a catastrophe. The contemporary drama that affects this precious land is, in fact, that of a constant threat to the ecosystem and gradual but progressive environmental degradation. These clearly sensitive artists have found a positive, common denominator for all the problems that afflict the future of the Earth and humankind. Their works, suspended between reality and dream, between denunciation and responsibility, have become a powerful ethical tool to send messages of realistic hope.
