Volume 5 / Giardino Project

I feel a bit of sunshine when I see the marches all over the world supporting us.

 

Two days of events dedicated to Palestine

 

12–13 July 2025, Trepuzzi, San Cesario di Lecce, Lecce

The “Volume 5” of the Giardino Project was created in collaboration with the Merz Foundation, Fondazione Lac o Le Mon (San Cesario di Lecce), and the Polo Biblio-Museale of Lecce.
In this time of great cultural and political crisis and unrest, the aim is to focus attention on Palestine as a sign of solidarity and support, rediscovering the meaning of sharing and dialogue, with the goal of fighting growing indifference.
The project involves the artist Shayma Hamad, who, after a residency period at Lac o Le Mon, will lead an open and free Palestinian cooking workshop.

Saturday 12 July
9:30 – 11:00, BREAKFAST at Giardino Project (Trepuzzi, LE)

20:00, TALK at Chiostro Biblioteca Bernardini (Lecce)
Speakers: Luigi De Luca, Beatrice Merz, Cesare Pietroiusti, Giulia Turconi, Shayma Hamad

Followed by: presentation by Doctors Without Borders with Davide Musardo joining live from Amman, West Bank

Sunday 13 July
From 11:00, PALESTINIAN COOKING WORKSHOP with Shayma Hamad at Fondazione Lac o Le Mon (San Cesario di Lecce, LE)
