If we were to fall silent - New Gen 2025
We are pleased to present If we were to fall silent, the concluding act of the third edition of New Gen 2025, a project dedicated to the professional development of emerging artists under 30, realized in collaboration between Almanac Inn, Cripta747 and Mucho Mas!. Through an open call, eight artists were selected, five from the Piedmont region and three from other parts of Italy: Giulia Crivellaro, Abdel Karim Ougri, Mari Ferrario, Giulia Gaffo, Miriam Governatori Leonardi, Beatrice Mika Sakaki, Teresa Prati and Maria Luisa Zoccoli.
For the 2025 edition, the role of tutor was entrusted to Massimo Grimaldi who, together with the curatorial teams of the three independent spaces, supported the artists during the workshop and production phases through studio visits, mentorship, and group discussions. For the exhibition If we were to fall silent, the artists present new works developed from the themes, suggestions, and critical reflections that emerged during the weeks of the laboratory.
Responding to a context that still offers few opportunities for horizontal exchange between the new generations of creatives and art professionals, the project created a space for sharing practices, languages, and perspectives, a space where each participant could express themselves, engage in dialogue, and critically reflect on their positioning within the contemporary art landscape.
