Since ancient times, Puglia's geographical position has made it a bridge between Europe and the Mediterranean. A land of exchanges and encounters, over the centuries the Adriatic has been home to different peoples who, over time, have integrated with other local centres, creating cultural testimonies that are still visible today. The interwoven histories that have shaped contemporary Puglian society are the fabric of our history.<\/p>\n

In parallel, the contemporary art exhibition \"Wander, Persist, Survive<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\", curate by Fiammetta Martegani<\/strong>, of the American Jewish of Syrian descent artist Lenore Mizrachi-Cohen<\/strong>, who has been already a guest of an art residence<\/em> at the Jewish Museum Lecce, who will tell, through a series of installations site specific<\/em>pieces of art, the exhibition tells about the history of Jewish people and its migrations from the time of the expulsions from Puglia to the Jewish diaspora today.<\/p>\n

The two exhibitions will be placed side by side in order to convey this extraordinary historical narrative to an international and intergenerational audience and to bring it up to date in the contemporary context, contributing to making Puglia a major cultural destination.<\/p>\n

With the participation of Michelangelo Mazzotta<\/strong> and Francesco De Giorgi<\/strong>, CEOs<\/em> of Jewish Museum Lecce.<\/p>\n
