Segni sul volto: The Mask And The Face. Multiple Identities. Speech By Maria Laura La Mantia

Segni sul volto (Signs over the face), a seminar/workshop conceived by Carla Riccoboni in collaboration with Le Arti Orafe, will open with a series of lectures transmitted on an online platform, conducted by professionals from various fields of expertise, focusing on the theme of the project or on the relationship between sign and identity, analysed from a variety of perspectives.
In Prof. La Mantia's speech for Segni sul volto, she will aim to identify the complexity of meanings linked to facial expressions and their symbolic importance, marked by the changes imposed by the pandemic event. This is a process of reinterpretation of the face in which four elements interact: the ego, the others, the mask and the virus.
