On the occasion of the 17th edition of Giornata del Contemporaneo – Italian Contemporary Art, an annual event organized by AMACI, CCA – Center for Contemporary Art Tel Aviv will host a roundtable with Tania Coen-Uzzielli, Director of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Nicola Trezzi, Director and Curator of CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo, and Fiammetta Martegani, Curator at the Eretz Israel Museum, Tel Aviv. Although they were born and grew up in Italy, all three participants are an integral part of the cultural landscape in Israel. Following these premises, the roundtable will unfold issues related to cultural identity and translation, but also introduce methodologies and positions connected to institutional leadership, peppered with personal statements and anecdotes.

The event will be held in English and is presented under the auspice of Istituto Italiano di Cultura Tel Aviv. It will be accompanied by an aperitif.
