Ulteriore is pleased to announce that the winner of the Cassiopea<\/i> open call is the artist, Danilo Sciorilli<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The residency is curated together with art historian Valentina Tebala<\/strong> and organised in collaboration with Catartica, an organisation active in the cultural and artistic promotion of the local area.<\/p>\n

The open call was dedicated to the selection of an artist invited to develop a site-specific project in the village of Cataforio, engaging in dialogue with the landscape, the history of the place, and the local community.<\/p>\n

During the residency week, Danilo Sciorilli will create an artwork conceived in relation to the territory that will then become part of the cultural heritage safeguarded by the Catartica Association.\u2028<\/p>\n<\/div>

THE VENUE<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Situated on the lower slopes of the Aspromonte mountains, just a few kilometres from Reggio Calabria, Cataforio is a small village that bears deep traces of the history of the area.<\/p>\n

The village centre lies near Motta Sant\u2019Agata, an ancient fortified structure that for centuries shaped the defensive geography of the settlement. Today, it is undergoing a phase of transformation in which cultural practices, community-based initiatives and artistic research contribute to redefining the relationship between memory, landscape and community.<\/p>\n

In this context, the residency is conceived as a temporary space for research, in which the artist is invited to engage with the place not as an object of representation, but as a field of relationships and possibilities.<\/p>\n
