Art between East and West in Venice

From 7th June to 22nd November 2009, the city of Venice has the pleasure of hosting the Divano Orientale-Occidentale, an exhibition that will display the most original works of promising young artists from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. The event will be held at the Scuola Nuova Maria della Misericordia, representing an important occasion for discussing the intercultural links between the two worlds and for trying out, on one hand, their expressive profoundness and, on the other, revealing the consistency of their connections.

It will be open every day from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm. Entrance is free. If you book a hotel in Venice you will be able to visit an exhibition of great importance, which testifies yet again the complexity of the relationships kept by the city with very different dimensions, over the course of its history. The event represents an opportunity for highlighting not only the differences but also the consolidated meeting points between such distant cultural horizons.
