This book explores the multiple facets of identity thanks to a series of authors who have observed their inner reality and the world using innovative languages.

Restless Art - The Urgency of Creation: Fondazione Palazzo Magnani, Reggio nell Emilia  (18 November 2022 - 12 March 2023).

It’s a journey into the very beginning of art, into its spontaneous and instinctive origins, following the tensions of the expressionist line and the surrealist poetics open to the dream realm, beyond the boundaries of rational thought; an itinerary among works also from marginalised groups, today a precious and essential archive of the imaginary – Art Brut, therefore, visionary and with unprecedented languages, is on show.
Carla Accardi, Alighiero Boetti, Jean Dubuffet, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Keith Haring, Emilio Isgrò, Paul Klee, Anselm Kiefer, Maria Lai, Antonio Ligabue, Zoran Mušič, Emil Nolde, Yves Tanguy are just some of the artists displayed, alongside works from the San Lazzaro Archives preserved at the Museum of History of Psychiatry in Reggio Emilia.
