Konference a přednášky v Jižním Tyrolsku

ARTIFICES: THE CREATORS OF ART The exhibition “Artifices: The Creators of Art” is the third chapter of the long-term project “Stories of Art with the Great Museums”, promoted by the Department of Italian Culture of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano–South Tyrol in collaboration with major Italian museums. Created with the National Roman Museum, the exhibition explores the evolution of Roman artistic production from the Republican period to the late Empire. Through sculptures, inscriptions, and everyday artefacts, it reveals the world of artisans and workshops that shaped Rome’s material and cultural identity. Highlights include a group of fine sculptures from a late Republican villa, displayed in a setting that evokes an elegant Roman residence, and a replica of the Discobolus (Lancellotti type) from the Omero Tactile Museum in Ancona, in dialogue with the celebrated original at Palazzo Massimo.

Pause for reflection during Advent

30 minutes of time for yourself to find peace and reflect on the birth and arrival of Jesus.

Pause for reflection with the Word of God, in silence, with music and prayer.

Leni Leitgeb and Christopher Göpfert tell stories for all ages in the run-up to Christmas.

Crossing Cultures explores the vibrant zone of contact that emerges where two cultural worlds meet—a space shaped by encounters between people, imaginations, sounds, and lived experiences.
The evening opens with a short film by directors Samba Ngum and Emilio Tamburini. Black Vesuvio tells a story of personal identification with Naples’ iconic volcano, seen through the eyes of Samba Ngum—a Gambian entrepreneur and musician who came to Italy for love. After finding work at the Vesuvius National Park, Samba faces, on one hand, the racism of certain tourists and, on the other, a growing affection for the volcano itself: powerful yet forced into silence… until the day it erupts.
Following the screening, Gianpaolo Chiriacò will moderate a conversation with the two directors.
The evening continues in Waag’s historic cellar with a performance by the duo Sophia Domancich and Napoleon Maddox, embodying yet another meeting at the crossroads of musical worlds and identities. A classically trained pianist devoted to experimentation—from jazz to avant-rock in the spirit of Robert Wyatt—Sophia Domancich weaves soundscapes around the vocal acrobatics of Napoleon Maddox, an African American rapper, poet, and beatboxer who emerged with the band IsWhat?!.
A collaboration driven by sonic exploration and a tribute to the great African American composers.

20:00 h / Waag -1 – Sophia Domancich & Napoleon Maddox live concert

WAAG Slam turns three! And everyone’s invited to celebrate!
This will be a special Christmas edition featuring some of the most active local slammers of the moment: Adam Dalpiaz, Manuel Hilber, Filomena Hunglinger, Olivia Kaufmann, Andreas Kofler, Silva Manzardo, Irene Moroder, Lena Simonetti, Team “Michi und Ichi” (Michaela Grüner and Frau S.), and Seamus Wimhurst.
All performances will include a little seasonal motto—“First 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then…”—and the audience will get their cue to cheer “hui!” every time. Each slammer performs their own original texts, live on stage, with no costumes or props—just their voice, their presence, and their words.
We’ll also be joined by a wonderful special guest: musician Maria Craffonara (Vienna/Brunico), with her violin, her kalimba, and her unmistakable voice. The evening will be hosted by Lene Morgenstern.
Admission is free, but please bring a book with you. One you’ve already read. Or one you’d prefer someone else to read. One that meant a lot to you. Or one you still haven’t fully figured out. One that got you through your studies. Or one someone else should probably study…At the end of the night, you’ll get to take home a different book. “Bring a book / Take a book.”
As always, the audience will be the jury, and only one slammer will take the crown. And then it’s party time.
WAAG Slam is a project by SAAV and WAAG, kindly supported by RAETIA.
