A new life arrives in a reality that is not perfect, just as no time ever has been. Every generation has known wars, crises, fears, transformations, and uncertainties. And yet every generation has continued to build, create, love, imagine, and pass things on. Those who are born inherit a legacy, but they are not destined simply to preserve it. They may reshape it, move through it, challenge it, transform it. No one can know in advance what path they will take.

To be born, then, contains an act of trust. It means welcoming someone without knowing who they will become, and recognizing that what lies ahead has not yet been written. We live in an age that has vastly expanded our possibilities. Science, technology, and knowledge have transformed the way we live, how we communicate, care for one another, produce, travel, and create, with a speed that, until quite recently, would have seemed impossible.

Is what we are capable of doing truly worth doing it?

This question gives rise to the idea of ethical progress, a form of progress capable of accompanying innovation with greater attention to people, to quality of life, and to the world we will leave to those who come after us.

Thinking about the future also means thinking about welcoming. Welcoming a new life means making room for someone we do not know yet. No one can determine in advance who that person will become. Perhaps it is precisely the freedom of not being able to predict everything that we should learn to preserve. Not the certainty of knowing what tomorrow will be like, but the possibility of leaving it open.

This is where birth and art meet. Also an artwork is born from the encounter between what already exists and something that does not yet exist. Artists begin with material, color, memory, experience, history, and their own time, yet through the creative gesture they can bring forth a new form.

An artwork can change the way we look at things, call into question what we take for granted, and make visible what we had not seen before. It can open up an unexpected perspective and bring something new into the present.

Birth and artistic creation thus meet in the possibility of giving form to the unprecedented.

It is from this relationship between birth, future, and creation that this art show “We Are Born Again” takes shape, an exhibition bringing together the artists Anna Cesarini, Antonio La Rosa, Armando Di Nunzio, Cleonice Gioia, Davide Cocozza, Graziella Buccini, Giovanni Trimani, Luigi Notarnicola, Monica Vanno, Nino De Luca, Pennyboy, Prisca Tozzi, Stefano Trappolini, Uter, Valeria Magini, and Vittorio Pavoncello, invited to engage with these themes through their works.
