The Light in Memory
An event exclusively for older adults, featuring an artistic and expressive workshop.
This event is designed to provide a dedicated space for older adults, who will have the opportunity to engage deeply with the works on display and get to know the artist better. The theme of memory as a place to which we go and from which we return, as that which remains and takes on a new light every time we look at it, offering fresh insights, will be at the heart of the session, just as Alfredo Pirri’s creations invite us to do. Following the theoretical part, we will have the chance to express, using simple art materials, what the experience has inspired in us, searching within our own history for a message to share and pass on to the future.
Workshop fee: €10.00 (+ Polytropon Arts Centre membership card if not already a member, for a reduced rate of €5.00).
Maximum 10 participants

Elena Gabbanini
Elena Gabbanini is an art therapist and workshop leader born in Florence. Initially she studied psychology but then chose to follow her creative calling, establishing herself as a graphic designer, photo editor and photo manager, and leading the Blueroomstudio project as co-founder. However, her encounter with art therapy would be the full realisation of her way of experiencing art – art in its deepest root of ‘Ar-’, from the Sanskrit ‘to go towards’; an art that becomes communication through images, working with one’s hands, and feeling the material and its vibrations. After graduating from Art Therapy Italiana in Bologna, she actively runs workshops and personal development courses in her small studio, Elgartt Lab, and in collaboration with organisations and cooperatives.
