public dialogue – Cultural Documents in dialogue with Richard Demarco at the Scuola Grande di San Marco
Cultural Documents was delighted to be invited to take part in Richard Demarco’s marathon dialogues set in the historical contexts of The Demarco Archive and the Scuola Grande di San Marco, Campo San Zanipolo, Venice. What an interesting day in an interesting week in Venice.
The presentation and conversation with Richard and the other speakers focused on the process of development of the exhibition Richard Demarco: la route, the road, la strada at Museo Nazionale del Molise a Castello Pandone, Venafro.
For the first time, la route, the road, la strada presents Demarco’s personal notebooks, photographs and drawings with contextualising works by Elaine Shemilt which chart his experiences in the 1940s growing up as an Italian boy in Churchill’s United Kingdom alongside documentation of over sixty years’ work establishing new international arenas for pioneering cultural exchanges.
