WOMEN’S ART POWER 2024
THE DIARY OF A DREAMER
Longitudes, latitudes and women’s legacy

curated by Dores Sacquegna

From 24 February to 08 March 2024

Opening day 24 February at 6:30pm

Renaissance venue of the Palmieri Foundation, Lecce

This year the working anniversary of Dores Sacquegna falls with 30 years of care and organization of events. The first project is dedicated to The Diary of a Dreamer, longitudes, latitudes and women’s legacy, with an international event full of surprises.

The exhibition can also be read as a treatise on non-ideological thought; as a conflict between uniqueness and culture, as a drama of female consciousness in the world, as an attempt to interrupt the dream that a man has about a woman, as a description of the world, as writing without giving oneself the identity of a writer, as the possibility of relationships now dissolved, even if traumatized, by the delivery of silence.

Open Studios on the Sidewalks

To celebrate DATMA’s 2023 theme of “Shelter” we are highlighting the important role of artists in shaping and creating their local community, the ultimate shelter for a city.
For the past 4 years, DATMA has been working with artists from outside the region. To build on the second year of our theme, “Shelter” we are highlighting the important role artists play in shaping and creating their local community, the ultimate shelter for a city. New Bedford, and its surrounding towns, is home to countless creatives. This exhibition features a range of SouthCoast artists who have never considered their work to be “the right medium” for public art, presenting their work in outdoor spaces for the first time. We want to expand the possibilities of what audiences consider public art mediums and get artists energized about exhibiting artworks in the community and outside the typical “white-cube” gallery. Open Studios on the Sidewalk is about opening up doors to the different creative practices in the SouthCoast region. Through our artist directory below, we are showcasing the unique spaces where artists produce work within DATMA’s local creative economy.

The outdoor portion of this exhibition is on view June 22 – October 23, 2023 in Tonnessen Park & Entrance of Seastreak Ferry building, downtown New Bedford.

The Art of Oika: Nantucket
Presented by The Maria Mitchell Association
Opening Reception:
Thursday, June 15th at 5:30pm
Exhibition Runs June 15th to July 14th
This is an exhibition of four Oika Artists and an ecologist who have been listening and learning from the nature of Nantucket. Each artist brings their own context, experiences and sensitivities. We are inspired by our unique lived-experiences of Oika, but also guided by the deep, ecological principles of Oika as interpreted through the constraints of language.

My exhibition works statement:
Inside Gallery- Through the intentional act of collecting, growing and building organic materials, Haden creates moments in time to honor nature. Her exploration on Nantucket is represented within her works through remembrance, collecting and gathering, and processing weaving techniques passed down from generations that were used in functional craftsmanship specifically on Nantucket, MA. She has created two vessels that intersect Nantucket Basket Weaving with traditional fishing net construction. These pieces were built in a very slow meditative process allowing the works to unfold and embody the native plant materials in which the vessels are created from; telling the story of place, while embodying an open vessel to hold space, light, and moments of healing and what that expression might look like in a physical form.
Haden’s outdoor installation explores the opportunity of "place" as presented to her with possibility. Earth Womb (Nantucket) is one of four large scale vessels in a series that embodies life and the land, weaving parts of the actual materials found on site to create a vessel that hangs and gently weaves back into the ground. These vessels activate the concept of ‘Genius Loci,’ evoking the spirit of a place that led this to come into form; to reconceive and gestate that which is before us and give back to mother earth with gratitude for that which she has given to us; in a constant state of renewal and appreciation.

TRACES OF TIME

curated by Dores Sacquegna

from 20 May to 2 June 2023

Opening day 20 May 19:30pm

Palmieri Foundation, Vico dei Sotterranei, Lecce -Italy


“Time is the substance of which I am made, It’s a river in flood that drags me along but I am the river, It is a tiger that devours me but I am the tiger, It is a Fire that consumes me but I am the Fire” (Borges)

The show: This River, which we call Time, is ourselves. If we want to stop the River, we must “alchemically” strip ourselves of our barks to center ourselves on our inner rhythm. In the Greek philosophical thought, time is a single and homogeneous flow, in which all things subject to change are immersed. This flow is mostly circular and its symbol is the wheel or the ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. Temporality can be configured as a fundamental dimension of existence. Through the dimension of temporality, man on the one hand recognizes and builds himself in his being and in his becoming, on the other he relates to the world of other subjects and to the physical world. Each of us fits into a time that already exists: a mythical time, a historical time and a cosmic or hierophanic time. These dimensions interact closely and continuously, and represent, for each other, a condition of possibility of experience and knowledge. Mythical time is cyclical time, where everything repeats itself, it can indicate the time in which the celebration of a ritual is located, with actions that lead to a mythical archetype that evolves by changing its appearance and becoming globalized in modern society. Historical time it is a period of time in which events have occurred that generate a change. Cosmic or hierophanic time can designate cosmic rhythms, reveal the absolute, the supernatural, the superhistorical, the eternal return and the intuition about the periodicity of Life and Death. Without interrupting the linear progress of time, man can spiritually return to his origins, when he discovers in the world and in himself the traces of the divine, that is, of the primitive source of being. The prophets of ancient times called this time The Apocalypse and destiny and darkness were always connected to it, but here we want to see it rather as a Revelation, the unveiling of what stands between us and our true divine Self.
