Exhibition focus

The exhibition foregrounds a cultural dialogue between southern Italy and Spain through a photographic documentation of key Holy Week moments: processions, ritual garments, religious symbols and collective gestures. The images aim to convey both the visual power of the ceremonies and the inner, personal dimension of ritual experience within contemporary communities.

Symbolic highlights

• The Good Friday cross as a symbol of suffering and human frailty.
• Ritual anonymity expressed through hoods and traditional robes.
• Iconography and figures that turn the procession into a living, communal narrative.

Curators and contributors

The show is organised by Latvian-born gallerist Madara Liturri as part of ongoing cultural exchanges between Latvia and Italy. The photographic section, curated by Prof. Vito Didonna and Nico Lozupone, presents contemporary visual interpretations of local ritual heritage. Poet Franco Leone will offer readings during the inauguration.
