The artwork were laid out following an itinerary in a constallation of different spaces as the Cinema De Seta, CSC/Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (Experimental Center of Cinematography), Sala Perriera, Tre Navate and Vuoto 14, to build, over a three day festival (November 14-15-16), a programme that changes daily to define different elements to trace poetical politics. Poetical politics intends to provide a specific fragment, a perspective of the different artistic researches over the past ten years, where the artists feature videos as a transformative potential art medium to represent social inequalities and conflicts in contemporary society. Poetical politics, therefore, becomes a metaphor, a narrative texture, through the interconnection of a series of artworks that have specific and innovative becoming well-defined meanings, brought to Palermo to offer a new vision, an opportunity to observe elements and values of contemporary society, reflecting on contemporary geopolitics. Poetical politics does not intend to focus its attention on political analysis, but to define different visions that represent areas of political tensions. A poetical platform to build a symbolic dimension of social conscience.
