The Drawing Festival reaches its fifth edition in this 2020 and does so with a busy schedule of events, including “physical” ones, September 12 and 13 in Milan, and from September 14 to October 18, 2020 throughout Italy, and online workshops that will allow everyone to learn how to draw. The latter will be held on Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13. Let’s see what the program includes.

On the 13th, at 2:30 p.m., Alessandro Bonaccorsi will hold a class on “Ugly Drawing,” while at 4 p.m. there will be a talk with Emanuela Pulvirenti and Davide Crepaldi entitled The Drawing Between Hand, Eye and Brain.

The Festival, recalls Chiara Medioli, president of Fondazione Fedrigoni Fabriano, which organizes it, “is free for all participants, creates jobs, and is supported financially by private and public individuals in a fruitful and affectionate collaboration.”

“We’ve been working on the Drawing Festival for years to reach out to everyone, adults and children, young and old, with the aim of keeping our hands, eyes and minds trained with an extraordinary exercise of reflection and observation (call it mindfulness, it doesn’t change a thing), imagination and freedom allowed by a pencil, a sheet of paper and a person,” adds Medioli. “It allows one not to worry about the future, but to focus on the present, to recognize the world around. Or to give vent to fears and anxieties. Or create new worlds. Never before has this exercise seemed so important to us. We are hard at work planning the September Festival, and so many useful insights and exercises to do at home, at the window, on the balcony, for the weeks and months until we can all stand to do it together (with the care and caution we have always given).”

The Festival is curated by Fabriano in collaboration with the City of Milan and Castello Sforzesco.
