In December 2023 the solo exhibition "ULTIMI", in favour of Emergency,
curated by Angelo Bucarelli will be inaugurated. "ULTIMI is the title of an Francesca Cesaroni installation that show the representation of those who have no voice. Faces of people, without a precise identity, neither of gender nor of origin, who emerge only partially, from below, with their eyes wide open on the world, on all of us, challenging our indifference but without yet being able to breathe and without being able to speak, not yet being able to emerge and make themselves emerge as a complete and participatory humanity. The migrant prey to the waves, helpless, may easily come to mind, but in these faces that have not yet emerged there are also multitudes of women and men without the possibility of emerging because they are deprived of their fundamental rights, their bodies violated, defrauded of freedom, of dignity, the strength to react. Everything has been taken away from them that for many of us is taken for granted and acquired over generations.
Here: they are watching us.
They will not be able to forget the injuries they have suffered.
But they could become part of a complete and participatory humanity.
It also depends on us. "
