In this edition of 2022, under the title Teen R-evolution: between meme and drama, we present a series of artistic and cultural proposals that revolve around adolescence as a time of transition, change, construction of identity, personality and position in relation to the world, and that highlight the conflict that we live day by day and that digitalization only exacerbates.
With Teen R-evolution we want to insist on the need to empathize and to put ourselves back in the shoes of our adolescent self. That transition between childhood and adulthood, that stage so irrational and intense, at the same time vulnerable and malleable, where the first disappointments are lived, the first sexual experiences, in short, a time of experimentation and metamorphosis. This is a period we have all gone through that is so complex and uncertain, in which it is easy for us to place ourselves and empathize, perhaps more than putting ourselves in the shoes of a person from another cultural reality, race or gender. In other words, it is about adolescence as a universal and global paradigm.
The need to understand the world in order to define a point of reference is related to adolescence, but also to all of us, especially today. Therefore, it is about paralleling the complexity and uncertainty of the moment we live in with that of adolescence.
