Associazione Culturale PURA VIDA

The Associazione Culturale PURA VIDA ETS promotes contemporary art projects that foster a dialogue between artistic research, landscape, and community, developing initiatives that highlight natural and cultural heritage through interdisciplinary approaches. Its activities focus on organizing exhibitions, performances, artist residencies, and cultural programs that facilitate encounters between artists, local communities, and the public.

Among the association’s main initiatives, VULCANA transforms the island of Stromboli into a laboratory for artistic experimentation, involving Italian and international artists in the creation of site-specific works and interventions throughout public spaces. The dialogue with the volcanic landscape, the focus on the environmental characteristics of the territory, and the participation of the local community are the defining elements of a project that interprets contemporary art as a tool for knowledge and connection.

Through collaborations with institutions, artists, and cultural organizations, PURA VIDA ETS helps strengthen the role of island regions as hubs of cultural production and international exchange. Its activities encourage reflection on the relationship between humanity, nature, and the contemporary world, highlighting the landscape’s heritage as a space for research, creativity, and participation.
