Integration and empathy through art are the core principles of the upcoming exhibition In(k)cisivi–A Linocut Art Project, on for one day only at the new downtown location of co-working space Multiverso (via del Porcellana 57/79r).

The show will feature artwork by 12 young men hailing from Guinea, Nigeria, Gambia, Mali and Senegal, all seeking asylum in Italy. Works were all inspired by a “journey” theme and were created using linocut, a type of printmaking in which a linoleum sheet is used as a relief surface.

In(k)isivi will open at 6pm on January 14 and an aperitivo will follow. Entry is free.
