Progetto XXI is the platform through which the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee has aimed, since 2012, to explore on the one hand emerging artistic production, in its theoretical-practical realisation, and on the other hand the most seminal artistic practices of the last decades, in their exemplary methodological proposal.

The project contributes to the production and dissemination of alternative narratives and historiographies of the contemporary and to the definition of a regional system of contemporary arts based on collaboration and interchange between public and private institutions operating in the Campania Region.

The exhibition is fully financed with POC (PROGRAMME OPERATIVO COMPLEMENTARE) Regione Campania funds.
