Vincenzo Cohen

(Italy)

My art production revolves around themes of social and environmental justice. I strongly believe in the comunicative power of art since for me it’s like a mental health therapy. I believe in the interpenetration of disciplines and in the intercultural exchange between different cultures and artistic expressions, in inclusivity. I decided to collaborate with ANIMA MUNDI ACADEMIA because I found an energetic and stimulating environment and people. I always hope to find new creative and fruitful collaborations and share experiences for a collective cultural growth.
