Summer of Peace
2022-2025 – 3 Years Peace Letters to Ukraine
Peace Letters – 10th part – sending the message of the positive creativity of The 3 Francesca’s – is representing a new complementary solidarity screening program context launched @ Alphabet Art Centre on occasion of the Peace Letters 7 presentation at TAM – Torrance Art Museum – 4-25 June 2022.
The 3 Francesca’s by family name Fini, Leoni and Lolli are striking in the Italian contemporary art scene not only through the same first name Francesca, but primarily through their individual creativity in the same field of artistic expression, e.g. artistic (live) performance and moving images e.g. video performance & video art.
The Summer Program is featuring between 17 August – 39 September 2025 regularly changing screening programs, demonstrating the solidarity of artists all over the world with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people suffering from the Russian annihilation war – starting on 22 February 2022, but also solidarity with all the victims of other current conflicts on earth including the escalating climate change!
