Angelo Bellobono is an artist and ski coach. With his work, by mixing life and professional skills has generated new codes to relate profitably and humanely to the places and communities and new models designed to build awareness and social connectivity.
The ice and mountains are frequent metaphorical elements in his work; ice representing the planet's archival memory, and mountains depicted as hinges and not barriers, connecting cultures. His works explore the concepts of identity, borders and how social and geopolitical changes have effected people.
He created the Atla(s)now project in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, a community platform for cross-disciplinary collaboration where art and skiing are used as a means of social and economic development(http://www.atlasnowproject.com/) In 2014 began a new ongoing and shared project in New York with the community of Native Americans Ramapough Lenape ( Before me and after my time) and on september 2016 the ongoing project Io sono futuro (https://www.facebook.com/Io-Sono-Futuro-1092219020862617/)
