Exhibition curated by Silvia Rizzo Galata Museo del Mare, June 11, 2010
The exhibition of Emilia Rabuini’s work held in Genoa at Galata Museo del Mare is entitled LA BOCA. IL COLORE DI UN QUARTIERE: IL CONTRIBUTO DELL’IMMIGRAZIONE ITALIANA A BUENOS AIRES. It was selected to represent the celebrations carried out in Genoa for the 200 years of the foundation of the Republic of Argentina and was judged among the most important events. The exhibition was curated by Silvia Rizzo, who had met Architect Emilia Rabuini at the AIC Conference in Stockholm. The show has been much praised by critics and the public alike. Argentinian Ambassador and General Consul Mr. Gustavo Moreno as well as Programme Coordinator of Bicentennial Celebrations Anna Karina Santini attended the opening ceremony. The conference LA NAVIGAZIONE DEL COLORE (The Navigation of Color) was organized in collaboration with Genoa University and dealt with the strong cultural relations between Genoa and Buenos Aires. The exhibition and its content will be further developed and debated in 2011 in collaboration with local schools and other cultural institutions.
