To celebrate ten years of collaboration with the Fondazione Pistoletto on the Art for Social Impact project, Ecolint students drew inspiration from the concepts of Stato dell'arte and Third Paradise by Michelangelo Pistoletto, a forerunner of Arte Povera, for whom art is a vehicle for transformation and for reflecting on our relationship with the world. The exhibition examines the relationships between human beings, their environment and the living world, and considers art as a lever for building a more sustainable and harmonious world.

The works lent by the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art come from its collection of contemporary African and diaspora art, and are by Sanaa Gateja, Lucie Kamswekera, Option Dzikamai Nyahunzvi, Adjaratou Ouedraogo, Dieudonné Sana Wambeti and Sizwe Sama Sibisi.

Ecoart, an educational project
Each year, the students of the Curatorial Team — under the guidance of Manuel Fadat and Mélanie Delaune —curate and produce an exhibition from start to finish. Ecoart is both an educational and professional project, designed to raise awareness of careers in the arts and culture, as well as contemporary art and curatorial practice.
