FRONDE / Dare Luogo

FRONDE is a group that believes in the art process as a tool to create possibilities and imagine new actions for the space we live in.

 FRONDE is based in Venice and is trying to foster interaction in the public space of the city through artistic interventions, promoting the exchange between different populations (residents, passers-by, kids, students and the elderly) and stimulate social processes.

Moreover we practice analog photography, with old sought machinery, because we like the final yield that is less cold and less perfect than the digital photos.
