the first European festival on creativity

2018 Programme

Event #6

Serena Dandini, Michela Murgia

The community of valiant women

What do environmentalist Wangari Maathai, artist Vanessa Bell and our own grand wordsmith Grazia Deledda share in common? Surely the fact of being valiant women, but not just that. They are pioneers who – like many others too often forgotten by official history – managed to achieve a role within their own communities but also outside of their boundaries. For these women, the creation of new and different communities – be they political or artistic – stemmed from their understanding of the fact that the pre-existing paths they had encountered laid out for them would have to be abandoned, or rather still – as Virginia Woolf said – treated with complex and important indifference. Does being indifferent to the strict paths of tradition allow one to open up to freedom and to a deep – and, if necessary, irreverent – pursuit of one’s own talents?
