In the year that sees the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall riots and the thirtieth anniversary of the Tienanmen Square uprising and the fall of the Berlin Wall, ÜberMauer proposes a path of analysis and testimony on the possible variations of ‘wall’, understood as a symbolic, political, historical and psychological feature.

Extending between the sea, the Kalsa and the Cassaro, the installations and projects will appear in numerous public and private spaces scattered throughout the city: the Teatro Garibaldi, the Teatro Bellini, Piazza Magione, the Convento della Magione, the Spasimo and the Sala sopra le Mura, the Church of SS. Euno e Giuliano and elsewhere.
