Gaia lives with her adoptive grandmother in a rural house. She has a special relationship with a white lily plant she grew in her grandmother's land. Cristina is the daughter of a very powerful entrepreneur. She is different from all little girls. Her skin, diaphanous because she is albino, creates a wall of distance with the surrounding reality. When her father, an unscrupulous man, wants the land of Gaia's grandmother, Cristina rebels. A story of a pure and simple friendship, Mami Wata takes its name from an African divinity, a symbol of water and the duality of nature: pure and uncontaminated, rebellious and free.

Last night Silvia Tarozzi and Deborah Walker dazzled a room full of people—including many kids, who love rebel worksongs of female Italian rice planters, the Mondine.
Silvia and Deborah performed the U.S. premiere of 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪 𝘥𝘪 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢, 𝘥𝘪 𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘰 𝘦 𝘥’𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦, a transcription and reinterpretation of folksongs from their birthplace, the rural Emilia-Romagna region, for violin, cello and voice.

Don’t miss Songs on War, Work and Love!
On December 3 at 4pm CT Silvia Tarozzi & Deborah Walker duo will perform the U.S. premiere of "Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d’amore", a transcription and reinterpretation of Italian folksongs, at The Graham Foundation's Madlener House.
Their songs tell a story of hard and poorly paid work, love, the hypocrisy of society, protests, war, the challenge of work, women away from home, the violence of power and the need for a common political conscience.
Presented by Lampo in partnership with the Graham Foundation and the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago.

Photographing Italy: Identity, History, and the Contemporary Landscape A conversation with Silvia Camporesi By Dr. Giovanni Aloi This series of six lectures and dialogues maps crucial moments in the history of Italian photography. We will consider the initial responses to the medium, how photography impacted the emergence of Italian national identity, and the rise of political propaganda. And we’ll explore the recent reconfigurations of Italian landscapes in contemporary art photography as part of a complex and ongoing identity quest — a critical approach with a focus on ethical, political, and environmental issues that has placed Italy at the forefront of international photographic debates. Silvia Camporesi was born in Forli in 1973. She received her degree in Philosophy. She uses the languages of photography and video to build tales drawn from a mixture of myth, literature, religions, and reality. In recent years, her research has focused on the Italian landscape. Since 2004, her work has been on display at the following solo exhibitions in Italy: Dance dance dance at the MAR of Ravenna in 2007, Planasia at the Reggio Emilia European Photography Festival in 2014, Genius Loci at MAC in Lissone in 2017, and abroad: À perte de vue at the Chambre Blanche in Quebec in 2011; 2112, at Saint James Cavalier of Valletta in 2013, Atlas Italiae exhibited at the Abbaye de Neumünster in Luxembourg in 2015, at the Art Musing in Mumbai in 2017 and at the Desfours Palace in Prague in 2018. She has participated in the following group exhibitions: Italian camera, San Servolo Island, Venice in 2005; Con gli occhi, con la testa, col cuore at the MART in Rovereto in 2012, Italia inside out at Palazzo della Ragione, Milan in 2015, Extraordinary visions at MAXXI in Rome in 2016 and at the Kolkata center in Calcutta in 2019; The Quest of Happiness at the Serlachius Museum in Mantta in Finland.

A webinar of the #weareISSNAF series, introducing some of ISSNAF leading members and their fascinating research. Organized by ISSNAF, in cooperation with the Consulate General of Italy in Chicago and the Italian Cultural Institute in Chicago A very significant outcome of the long-standing collaborative effort of Italians and North American nuclear physicists is the present deep involvement of Italians in the scientific and cultural life of Fermilab. Giorgio Bellettini reflects on a scientific career that started in the sixties, spanned two continents and was marked by a strong collaboration between American and Italian physicists, such as on the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, where over 100 Italian scientists participated. His deep, constant involvement with Americans shaped many significant events, including two important scientific discoveries. After the end of CDF data-taking ten years ago, the Italian INFN is participating strongly in new world-class experiments at Fermilab and is looking to play an important role in the exploration of neutrino physics, the field where Italians have been making important contributions and on which the Lab is betting for future fundamental discoveries. Additionally, the Cultural Association of Italians at Fermilab, created by Bellettini to enable Italian students to train in the USA and to spread the Italian language, music and culture in the US, is another aspect of his important legacy.
