Some of Majd's work
ARTE REALIZZATA DA MAJD PATOU FATHALLAH PER LA STRAGE DELLA STAZIONE Un’opera anglo-libanese a Villa Paolina
LEI, Majd Patou Fathallah, è anglo-libanese e da
alcuni anni lavora come scultrice a Pietrasanta. Colpita
dalla strage della stazione, ha realizzato l’opera
che raffigura un corpo dilaniato
dal quale sgorga una luce, segno di speranza dopo
la tragedia. Ieri l’opera è stata donata al Comune di
Viareggio (nella foto, un momento dell’iniziativa)
alla presenza dell’artista, del vicesindaco Ciro Costagliola
e della direttrice del Museo di Villa Paolina,
Gaia Guerci. Proprio a Villa Paolina, dal 18 al
30 giugno, si terrà la mostra “Un quadro per rinascere”.
E il 30 giugno per i familiari delle vittime
della strage ci sarà un’asta (condotta da Philippe
Daverio) delle opere donate al Comune, compresa
quella di Majd, unica artista straniera presente
