Books become works of art in the exhibition "Like a Story"

The initiative has the ambitious goal of narrating and showcasing, above all, the creativity of the younger generations who are being trained in various fields of art, both in high schools and academies: young people free to express thoughts and share emotions through their work. The exhibition, titled "Like a Story: Libro d'Artita, Books That Become Art - Paper Stories Between Memory and Experimentation," will open on Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. in the exhibition hall of the MiC University Library, located on Via Enrico Costa/Piazza Fiume in Sassari.
