Eugenia Serafini
"I was born in 1946 in a family of Tosco-Romagnole origins in Tolfa, a small village in Upper Lazio, inhabited by the Etruscans but much earlier by prehistoric man: certainly for its extraordinary position, which dominates the valleys of the Mignone river, the view over the Tyrrhenian sea and is rich in pastures, forests and iron minerals. Here my parents had returned to live after a long professional period in Terni, and then moved to Rome: labyrinth of my care! I carry in me the proud resistance and creativity of that wild nature, but I also recognise different roots, almost anarchic, linked to another village, Castiglione Garfagnana, to its valley in the mountains of the Apuan Alps, where my maternal ancestors were born. , at the marble quarries of Aulla and Carrara: in his Academy of Fine Arts I was Assistant Professor of Art History. Who knows why, but I have always felt that it was my grandmother Eugenia and mother Paola who wanted me up there in their mountains, witness to an infinite love for ART! I love clouds and planets, woods and starry, the white "spuma" of the sea.
Eugenia Serafini shared a series of water colours, artwork and poems as well as photographs from her family album. The rooms in the House of voices are full of colours, light and... butterflies. Each photo/artwork has a story that the author (in Italian) told us. The storytelling in each room adds to the exhibitions in our doll's house its element of originality. The exhibition opens on March 5 and it will be shared on Instagram daily.
In the House of voices we have rooms with artworks and rooms with photographs. You can listen to the stories of each photo on Soundcloud.

AuthorHi, I am Giovanna Iorio. I am sound artist based in London and I am the curator of the House of voices, a doll's house for poets & artists memories. The main aspect of the exhibitions is that our guests are invited to share with us precious memories and they tell us their stories with their voices. Archives
