Some of the characteristics of this year’s project are the promotion of training processes and the creation of occasions for encounter and exchange between the students of the Tuscan Academies of Fine Arts and José Yaque, a Cuban artist of consolidated success, with the objective of constructing an integrated system of artists and young people involved in detailed studies in territorial identity as expressed through productive and artistic excellence, production, resources, operativeness and collaboration between the public and private sectors. In this edition, the focus will be on the Santa Croce sull’Arno area, and the company of excellence with which José Yaque has worked closely is Waste Recycling, a Hera Group member that is deeply interested in art and art’s practices deemed one of the nation’s most prestigious and qualified in the disposal of industrial waste and the recovery and processing of scrap and waste from different production cycles.
