Love Never Fades: Li Yungfeng opens the new season at Parco Sculture

Li Yungfeng at Parco Sculture del Chianti: "Love Never Fades"

The Parco Sculture del Chianti launches its temporary exhibitions with a new project by Li Yungfeng. The solo show explores female memory, the bond with nature and the traces left by time, using pictographic signs and intergenerational storytelling conceived to interact with the park's woodland setting.

Central to the artist's research is the Dongba script, the pictographic writing of the Naxi people from Yunnan, listed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Li Yungfeng reworks these symbols into a contemporary visual language that connects cultural heritage, landscape and femininity.

Exhibition concept and itinerary

The project frames historical references and personal memories: the imagery of Turandot is juxtaposed with Naxi cultural elements to create a dialogue between myth and lived experience. The installation unfolds in stages that trace the life cycle of women and the ways memory is passed down.

• Origins: the Dongba signs and their ties to nature and place;
• Identity: symbolic portrayals of the different seasons of a woman's life;
• Memory: objects and marks that evoke generational transmission;
• Dialogue: exchange between Eastern traditions and the Tuscan cultural landscape.
