Second Edition
Opening windows onto community
2020 has globally redefined our common lives as we have been forced to reconceive them both in terms of time and space, leading us to a profound reflection on the social changes which will follow. Windows have become our real and metaphorical vantage points from which we observe our world and the new scenarios awaiting our local and global communities.
As crisis exacerbates inequalities, new perspectives on dialogue and cooperation are emerging just when they seem more necessary than ever. We have learnt to observe the world from a distance, while we also got closer to ourselves by practicing a mindful introspection. Living-without-others allows us to reflect on the sense of our community and challenges us to keep building and finding new identities and meanings.

Awarded artworks
Sea foam#Bloom
DI AYUNA (COREA DEL SUD), 1° PREMIO
“One day, We began to spread the white foam on our entire body. The white color is a color for the margin. The white sea foam we spread on our body will protect us. We will become the white sea foam. We will be the one. We will be a courage for each other. We will be a light for each other. We will be an awakening spring. We will be a zero to be near the infinite”.
Incontro-luce
DI CARMELO AIRI E IRENE FORTUNA (ITALIA), 2° PREMIO
