![]() Rurality, utopia, dream of returning back to the land and to its potential resistance – which can perhaps in the near future, also thanks to technologies, become reality: this is the food for thought provided to the 4 artists, selected for the first artistic residencies as part of the project Mediaterra Aemilia. Traces of it can be found in all civilizations, when, especially in times of crisis, the back-to-land embodies the dream – sometimes sentimental, sometimes utopian, sometimes avant-garde – of escaping the dangers of urban proliferation of poverty, disease, economic inequalities, and take refuge in the hospitable womb of an idealized nature. Technology then, with the possibilities of connection and creation of new economies, seems to be able to remove entire communities from an isolation up to now perceived as backward and doomed to depopulation.īut the desire to return back to the rural life, to the small self-sustaining community is not only an expression of modernity. The dream of a neo-rural modernity in contact with nature, far from the difficulties and stresses endemic to the chaotic urban dimensions, is becoming increasingly crucial in the context of the difficult current situation shaken by the pandemic, which pushes us to consider alternative lifestyles.
