It's an early autumn dedicated to art, that of Sarroch: theatre, photography, and street art will follow the preview of the same August dedicated purely to cinema.

October, November and December will in fact be characterized by a busy calendar of events for the second edition of SarrochArt, the Visual Arts Festival. The 2023 edition of the Festival, promoted by the Municipality with the support of the Sardinia Foundation and the Region, with the organizational coordination of the Association of Local Authorities for Cultural and Entertainment Activities, includes a structured program of both exhibition and participatory events and aims to gain an international scope.

Artists, directors, university professors will arrive in Sarroch to fascinate the public and involve them in the various cultural animation activities dedicated to the visual arts, as part of a project that aims to enhance creativity.

The August prologue focused on cinematography, a preview between Villa Siotto and Marina di Perd'e Sali which brought to Sarroch directors of the caliber of Salvatore Mereu, Francesco Bussalai, Michele Badas and Enrico Pau, but also sector professionals such as Antonello Zanda, director of the Cineteca Sarda.

From tomorrow the Festival will come to life with the start of activities dedicated to the theatre, which will have the little ones as protagonists. The workshop for children aged 3 to 6 at the “Emilio Tiddia” nursery school, held by the 'Talenti Stravaganti' company, aims

first of all to the discovery of the body: from improving coordination and space-time orientation to the valorisation and discovery of one's physicality, to develop respect for one's own body and that of others. The very young students will thus learn to manage emotions and convey them, to become aware of their role in the group. In fact, the theater has a great educational and pedagogical value: it is a mirror of

life, because students discover themselves, their potential, their aptitudes, and establish positive relationships of comparison and mutual trust with the group.

A week later, the project aimed at creating a mural will also start - which will be inaugurated on October 24th - in the Francesco Ciusa secondary school: the well-known street artist Skan will curate it, with the collaboration of the students of the same institute .

Then in November there will be space for activities related to photography, another art form that investigates reality through an autonomous and authoritative language. And also in this area, workshops are planned in collaboration with schools, so that young students can learn about it and become interested in it.

Rebecca Scano, Councilor for Culture and Public Education, illustrates the program of activities that will end during the Christmas holidays: «It is a review that looks with extreme attention at young citizens, with the aim of unearthing talent, directing them through workshops towards important artistic paths, to develop their passions with a view to personal fulfillment, but also to export the territory onto supra-regional stages. For this reason, many activities will interest schools, with young people having the opportunity to interface with the eternal art of theatre, the more contemporary street art and photography, which is evolving very rapidly also by virtue of the advent of smartphones and social media ».
