Synopsis

LAVORO AD ARTE, created with the participation of artists, workers and entrepreneurs from 32 factories and artisan activities, takes its cue from the public art project "Heart of stone", curated by Mili Romano, active for 10 years in Pianoro, in the province of Bologna. The documentary tells how, within the different companies, young artists create signs, installations, performances, in collaboration and participatory exchange with workers.

Rita Correddu's speech focuses on recording the beating of the workers' heartbeats; the fragments of the workers' stories are reported on the sidewalks by the Bisotti-Paladino duo; Anna Rossi's work is the fantastic reworking of the waste objects of the various industrial productions. The Mancuso Brothers compose an original song starting from their experience of emigration and work in London factories. And then speeches by Mona Lisa Tina, Andreco, and many others. Art, a universal language, helps to create relationships, to build memory, to make our lives richer, even in times of crisis.
