Guiding students to interpret the identity of the territory through the image; creating a collective work of large format and visual impact; providing knowledge for the understanding and practice of the linocut printing technique (woodcut on linoleum): these are the three main objectives of the workshop “FUORIFORMATO – The big Tothem: collective woodcut for San Lorenzo”.
The experience, curated by the teacher Guido Lombardo, is enriched by the presence of Francesco Fidani who, in the course of his career, in addition to dealing with illustration, has founded the so-called “Tothem Tour”. It is, specifically, a traveling printing project that aims to bring the engraving and woodcut printing technique outside the walls of the laboratory – or with performances in the square – elaborating images that tell the story of the territory for each event. The “Tothem Tour”, to date, has covered about fifteen stages, contaminating Italy between expressiveness and originality.
