StARTers with Emanuela Baldi
Lectures, Italy, Siena, 09 April 2013
Love Difference is a not for profit association established in June 2002 founded by the artist Michelangelo Pistoletto together with international institutions, cultural centres, researchers, curators and artists, and was intended as an extension of the activities and vision of Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto, a project proposing a new role for the artist: that of placing art in direct interaction with all the areas of human activity which form society, through a new form of artistic and cultural institution.
According to Fondazione Pistoletto's mission, Love Difference’s aim is to develop creative projects in order to stimulate dialogue between people of the Mediterranean Basin belonging to different cultural, political or religious backgrounds, and to bring about responsible transformation in society by setting up an international network for spreading a new model for cultural integration through art and creativity.
Since 2004 Emanuela Baldi and Filippo Fabbrica coordinate Love Difference works on: workshops on shared collective processes; “making together” actions in collaboration with artists; networking and expertise on group dynamics for public and private sectors; artistic projects for dialogue among cultures; food events; conventions, meetings, seminars, concerts, performances, exhibitions.
The association constantly works in several Italian cities; it has experience in European and Mediterranean projects, having operated in Belgium, Croatia, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Palestinian territories, Slovenia, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey. And then beyond Europe and Mediterranean area it operated in Colombia, South Korea, United States of America.

Emanuela Baldi earned a degree in Foreign Literatures and Languages from University of Florence and an ESF master degree for “expositions, fairs, events and theatre set up”. After several collaborations with Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto, she joined Love Difference in 2004 as Project Coordinator.

The talk is organized by the Siena Art Institute together with the association Culture Attive (San Gimignano)
