language: italian

abstract: "Contenuto Rimosso and Ca’Mon – Centro di Comunità per l’arte e l’artigianato di montagna" are two projects located in small mountain villages. They contribute to rethinking the mountain as a place for contemporary production as well the directions of an artistic practice that has civic value in bringing out forms of civic activation and by participating in building new cultural heritage and “heritage communities”, capable of assigning new values and meanings to their resources to reconsider the path of local development.
