THE SCHOOL OF FILO’ / 2025
This collaborative mural was created during The School of Filò, a research-based art and architecture program investigating the social and spatial dynamics of the Valle dell’Agno in Northern Italy. Working alongside students from the Architectural Association (London) and residents of the rural Meggiara community, we transformed the outer wall of the communal oven (still a central gathering place) into a large-scale, site-specific artwork.
Using earth pigments collected from nearby hills and natural binders, the mural reimagines bread-making as a civic ritual and ancestral practice. Blending memory, food, and intergenerational exchange, the work positions the oven as both a symbolic and social infrastructure rooted in shared traditions.
