In Demetrio Di Grado's collage, the woman applying makeup and the masked clown become symbols of an everyday theater of appearances and deception. Tears, fragments, and words on the eyes reveal the hidden truth: lies don't vanish, but endure, disguise themselves, and return.

Artist: Demetrio Di Grado

Inspiration: New European Bauhaus
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) is a creative and interdisciplinary initiative that connects the European Green Deal to our living spaces and everyday experiences. It is a movement born to make the ecological transition a tangible, positive, and shared experience, capable of uniting the worlds of science and technology with those of art and culture.

The initiative is based on three core values that must coexist in every project:
Sustainability: It promotes respect for the planet and the climate, promoting a circular economy and reducing environmental impact.
Aesthetics (Beauty): It goes beyond style, aiming to create places and lifestyles that foster mental and physical well-being and the pleasure of living.
Inclusion: It ensures that the proposed solutions are accessible and dignified for all, breaking down social barriers and enhancing diversity.

Why "Bauhaus"?
The name recalls the historic 20th-century German school that revolutionized design and architecture by uniting art and industry. Today, the "New" European Bauhaus invites architects, artists, scientists, and citizens to collaborate to address the challenges of the 21st century, demonstrating that technological innovation and environmental protection can go hand in hand with beauty and social justice.
