Nella splendida Sala Affrescata di via del Monte 23, sede della biblioteca del Todi Circle, domenica 12 Aprile 2026, alle ore 11, e contestualmente presso la Ex Chiesa SS. Filippo e Giacomo, via SS. Filippo e Giacomo snc, Todi (PG) sarà inaugurata la mostra personale “Lo straniamento prima del canto” dell’artista toscana Teresa Bucca, da lei ideata insieme alla curatrice Arianna Bettarelli.
Our new Todi Circle 'Tangent' in Johannesburg, South Africa, wrapped up successfully last February!
Inspired by Roger Ballen, it launched at his Inside Out Centre for the Arts. With 12 guests "from Cape to Cairo" (Egypt, SA, Morocco, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, UAE, France, UK) from 150 Todi Fellows' suggestions—it was a perfect start for future editions!
Conversations sparked ideas to strengthen intra-African ties (beyond Europe/Asia/US links). Two of the "Jodi" guests will join Todi/Umbria, that eill hit its 13th edition soon.
