The GENDER FOCUS opens the reflection on the new representations of identity, understood in its different meanings, from gender to national identity.

It hosts artists and scholars who rethink our perceptions and representations of gender, the canons and norms that regulate their relations, from the existential to the political level.
Personal and exemplary stories, theoretical hints and philosophical questions, always on the borderline between fiction and reality, shedding new light on our mental categories of male and female, questioning boundaries and definitions, categories and memberships, for a hymn – quoting Motus – to the freedom to become, to openness to multiplicities.
