Saturday 21 May at 11.00 a.m., in the small square in front of Palazzo Blu on Lungarno Gambacorti in Pisa, will see the inauguration of the third of the five appointments of the artistic project Beyond Dante, organised by the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Pisa, which the Persian artist, Tannaz Lahiji, has dedicated to the city on the occasion of Dante's centenary.
Inaugurated last December inside the Church of the Spina with the work Il Vortice Infernale (currently on display in the Biblioteca Comunale SMS) and followed by Busto di Dante, the project continues with the presentation of the installation, La Barca di Caronte (Charon's Boat), a work with a strong visual impact that will remain on display in the outdoor space in front of Palazzo Blu until 10 July, and will then be moved to Piazza Gorgona, in Marina di Pisa.
Beyond Dante is the second exhibition cycle by artist Tannaz Lahiji, curated by Manuela Antonucci. Dante had already inspired the artist in 2019 with another project, Riflessioni su Dante (Reflections on Dante), dedicated to the city of Florence, also curated by Manuela Antonucci.
