“WE SHOUT” project
The project “WE SHOUT” arises from the awareness of big potential that new technologies, above all the so called social networks, can create.
In a world dominated by noise annihilating our individuality and aiming at making it only a part of a shapeless and conforming mass, shouts stand for rebellion against this trend, the wish of the individual to regain possession of his centrality, that has wrongfully been taken away.
Therefore we shout not only to affirm our existence, but to express what we are, what we were and what we would like to become.
We shout because we have something to say, we need to be heard or only because we are exhausted to ape behavioral models imposed by a third party completely unfamiliar to us.
We shout because we want to make those who are next to us and don’t know how we feel understand that being oneself is the most difficult human challenge ever.
We shout because a shout is also a travel, it starts from a sense of grief, grudge, tiredness that everyone brings along, it has its origins in the experiences that can be common or completely different one from another.
We shout because every human being is special and has its right and duty also to choose from his life to shout if he feels this need.
In order to do all these things, to try to give utterance to the individuals, we are trying to place at disposal a common place on the Internet where everyone can express himself through the methods and means that are considered to be the most suitable: videos, photos, written and sung pieces and every other artistic expression able to communicate the state of mind of the shout.
The project conceived by Domenico Gioia, promoter and curator of cultural events, is assisted by several collaborators throughout Italy, found un Facebook and Myspace.
Such collaborators, along with the promotion of the project, will commit themselves to collecting your works; besides their publication on the Internet they will be used to create an event, in which they will be exposed together with other works made by professional artists, called to express themselves with regard to this topic.
At the beginning, the work will be characterized by a first phase to widely spread the project, followed by a phase to collect the material and then the creation of an exhibition aiming at a proper show of all the received works, thus making visible what often remains choked by a blanket of unease.
