\u201cThe Milky Way\u201d is the name we gave to a series of art exhibitions \u2013 held in 2014 in Naples, 2015 in Rome, and 2016 in Milan \u2013 that raised funds to support the work of Pianoterra Association<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The name \u201cMilky Way\u201d was inspired by Pianoterra’s first project in Naples, Vital Nutrition: From Birth to Age One<\/strong>, which promotes breastfeeding \u2013 mother\u2019s milk \u2013 and distributes powdered milk when breastfeeding is not possible.<\/p>\n

The series was curated by Damiana Leoni<\/strong>, who invited accomplished artists from Italy and abroad to create and donate original artworks inspired by a theme related to our mission. The artists\u2019 work was exhibited and offered for sale to the general public at gala events.<\/p>\n

The series not only raised funds for us; it served as an outreach tool for strengthening and expanding the community of people who are committed to our mission. (And, each gala was socially a delight!)<\/p>\n

Below are descriptions of each event.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Milky Way Foto | Galleria Lia Rumma | Napoli, 2018<\/h2>\n

The Milky Way, the fund raising exhibition curated by Damiana Leoni for Pianoterra onlus, returns to Naples, at Lia Rumma Gallery<\/strong><\/a>, in May 24th-26th. The fourth edition of the event is dedicated to photography<\/strong> and contributes to the expansion of our little galaxy thanks to the theme we chose: Your Love\/Amore Tuo<\/strong><\/em>. A simple theme apparently, but at the same time mysterious, looking at the artworks donated to Pianoterra by 57 artists. \u201cWhat moves you? What crushes, beats and grinds you, and takes your breath away, then brings you (back) to life?<\/em>” We asked them to answer with their photos to these questions, inviting them to take all the freedom they need, to explore them and shape them without given boundaries.<\/p>\n

The Milky Way\u2019s mission (where the \u201cMilky Way\u201d stands also as a metaphor for a plurality of voices and sights) has always been to give voice to a good cause with a big project focused on contemporary creativity. As with previous editions, all proceeds form the sales will support and reinforce our promise<\/strong> to those who, pressed by everyday troubles, find at Pianoterra a safe place to stop by and catch their breath.<\/p>\n

The 57 artists who participates to The Milky Way 5 are: Marina Abramovi\u0107, Miles Aldridge, Andreco, Ciro Battiloro, Priscilla Benedetti, Jasmine Bertusi, Tommaso Borgstrom, Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin, Francesco Cabras, Simona Caleo, Juno Calypso, Paolo Canevari, Monica Carocci, Lorenzo Castore, Talia Chetrit, Maisie Cousins, Alessandra D\u2019Urso, Si\u00e2n Davey, Veronica della Porta, Marco Delogu, Vittoria Di Giovanniello, Alfred Drago Rens, Martin Errichiello, Gabriele Galimberti, Simona Ghizzoni, Manfredi Gioacchini, Francesco Jodice, Philip Jones Griffiths, Mohamed Keita, Irene Kung, Luigi Leoni, Alex Majoli, Emanuele Mascioni, Lorenzo Meloni, Gideon Mendel, Oskar Metsavaht, Landon Metz, Domingo Milella, Davide Monteleone, Marina Paris, Francesca Pasquali, Beatrice Pediconi, Massimo Piersanti, Leonardo Pucci, Carolina Sandretto, Corrado Sassi, Marco Schifano, Alice Schivardi, Johnnie Shand Kydd, Elisa Sighicelli, Massimo Siragusa, John Stezaker, Ornella Tiberi, Riccardo Venturi, Stephen Waddell, Francesco Zizola.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>
