Artist and founder of CVTà Street Fest (IT)
Alice Pasquini is a multifaceted artist whose work spans urban surfaces, galleries, and museums across more than one hundred cities worldwide. Her artistic exploration encompasses themes of feminine vitality and the three-dimensional possibilities of her medium, transitioning effortlessly between urban explorations and installations utilizing found materials.
Originally from Rome, Alice graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and has since lived and worked in various countries including Great Britain, France, and Spain. She furthered her studies in animation at the Ars Animación school in Madrid and obtained a Master’s degree in critical art studies from the Universidad Computense in 2004.
Throughout her career, Alice has undertaken numerous prestigious projects, including designing librettos for the Teatro Comunale di Bologna and collaborating with governmental bodies on projects like the 3D installation “Under Layers” in Ostia, Rome. Her works have been exhibited in renowned institutions such as the Museo Italiano in Melbourne, the Saatchi Gallery in London, and the MACRO Contemporary Art Museum in Rome.
Notably, she was appointed as the director of CVTA’ Streetfest in Italy in 2016, further solidifying her impact on the international art scene.
In 2019, “Crossroads, a Glimpse Into the Life of Alice Pasquini,” the first anthology of her work, was published by DRAGO Publishing, cementing her status as a leading figure in contemporary art.
The languages of street art are conquering and redesigning the urban landscape of a suggestive corner of Molise, the village of Civitacampomarano, in the province of Campobasso. The streets of the town are the setting for the “CVTà – Street Fest” festival. The event’s artistic director is Alice Pasquini, also known as AliCè. The CivitArt cultural association organizes the festival and supports it together with the Municipality of Civitacampomarano. The event is also sponsored by the Municipality of Civitacampomarano and the Molise Region.
A street art festival can only come about through the participation and sharing of the project by an entire community. In this perspective, it was the inhabitants of Civitacampomarano themselves who offered the most beautiful wall, the most enchanting view, the most precious panorama to the artists. Each of the six artists is invited to carry out their own intervention on the skin of the old village over the four days of the event, working in close contact with the local inhabitants. The result will be a proposal capable of offering both those who pass through the streets on a daily basis and visitors the chance to look at the old, weathered walls with a completely new eye, which arises from the community’s cooperation with the invited artists.
