Horti Bistrot is hosting the initiative "Kites over Gaza – Looking ahead: the road from tragedy to dialogue" on 21 November at 6.30 p.m., organised by Horti and Associazione Amici della Mongolfiera in collaboration with the University of Pavia, EDiSU, the Master's in Cooperation & Development Pavia and Emergency. We will talk about the tragedies in Gaza through the direct testimonies of young people who have experienced them first-hand and try to understand what the path to a future of dialogue and solidarity might look like.

Horti, in collaboration with Galleria Canesso, on the 11th April inaugurated the exhibition Horti Custos: The Custode dell’Orto within the Extra Art Gallery. 

The work, a very rare case of transposition into stone of the artistic spirit of the Milanese painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526-1593), aims to highlight the profound bond between man and nature; the sculpture is the work of a Lombard artist whose identity is still shrouded in mystery. The temporary exhibition will be in continuous dialogue with the work of British artist David Tremlett, who already enriches the space.
