The "Colours and Images of Science" exhibition cycle of the Art&Science Across Italy project got underway in January 2022. The project, organised by INFN in collaboration with CERN, aims to bring youngsters closer to the world of science using the language of art.
More than 5600 students are participating in the 2020-2022 edition of Art&Science Across Italy, from 140 schools in 10 regions, where the project is coordinated by several researchers from INFN divisions and Italian universities. The students have produced approximately 1000 artworks that will be displayed in exhibitions in the cities of Potenza (from 18 January to 4 February), Padua (from 28 January to 13 February), Nuoro (from 13 to 27 February), Milan (from 12 to 27 February), Frascati (from 12 to 27 March), Pisa (from 10 to 25 March), Bari (from 19 March to 3 April), Turin (from 21 March to 22 April), Rome (from 22 March to 3 April), Lecce (from 1 to 14 April), Genoa (from 1 to 21 April) and Naples (from 25 April to 8 May). Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic situation, the dates may be subject to change.
In each stage, the most significant works will win awards and be selected for the national exhibition, which will be held at the MANN – Italian National Archaeological Museum of Naples from 13 to 27 May. Finally, the 20 winners of the national competition will be invited to participate in a Master's programme on the relationship between art and science at CERN.
