Do rural communities have something to teach those living in the world’s metropolises today? And vice versa, can a metropolitan artist open new perspectives for the inhabitants of a small town? These complementary and reciprocal questions led to the birth of the Nocefresca project, inviting artists from diverse cultures to engage in dialogue with residents of rural Sardinian areas, thereby uncovering a common alphabet composed of images, colours, signs, sounds, thoughts, and emotions inspired by the experience of Milis: a small village located near the West Coast of the island of Sardinia, in Italy.
