In 2001 UNESCO established a program to protect the oral and intangible heritage of humanity, aimed at evaluating and cataloging the intangible assets of the world, that had to be considered as real monuments and which, without such measures, could be at risk of being dispersed in the maze of modernity and to disappear permanently.

The varied list of this heritage includes oral traditions, popular rites, popular festivities, arts and crafts, and in general social practices and ancient knowledge about nature and the universe. Keeping these practices alive is of crucial importance as they characterize and redefine the time, space, and memory of people and places.

The exhibition presents a multidisciplinary dialogue between the works of contemporary art by 16 great Italian artists, together with photographic documents, video documentaries by the director Francesco de Melis, objects and artifacts from the collections and archives of the museum of popular arts and traditions in Rome.

Artists:

Bertozzi&Casoni, Tommaso Cascella, Flavio Favelli, Dario Ghibaudo, Silvia Giambrone, Maria Lai, Francesco Lauretta, Gaia Scaramella, Davide Monaldi, Luana Perilli, Roxy in the Box, Marinella Senatore, Giuseppe Stampone, Sergio Tumminello, Angelo Marinelli and Zaelia Bishop.
