2024 I EDITION THEME AND ABSTRACT
The theme would like to have a graph structure, i.e. a branched tree, and connect the central concept of Freedom, dear to the organizers, with the many meanings that can derive from the native union of "freedom" with: First, “city” and “tradition” (in reference to Giugno Pisano and the Gioco del Ponte especially). Artists should understand these two concepts as Prior to and Anterior to their proposal, to the mural to be created - as something whose value does not diminish over time. Tradition as a spiritual value and the city as an immaterial value are to be considered as Ancestors of the Competition, and as such, they observe it from above, almost guide it, and certainly express opinions on the proposals. “expression”, “boundary”, “choice”, secondly. Think about freedom of choice, free expression, the border between one's own freedom and that of others, but do it from a Scratchy perspective: remembering the Ancestor, but not only.
Scratchy Freedom is a special - albeit imaginary - daughter of Ancestor. She is lively, brilliant, abrupt at times, but always significant, attractive, indelible - she always leaves her mark. Scratchy and Free, like Pisa - a wonder of a city.
