Fair .... Manifestation Talents of Women and Knowledge , organized by the Province of Cagliari, Equal Opportunities was held at the Fiera di Cagliari from 7 to December 16 2007
E 'was altogether a very interesting event that allowed me to meet new people and share ideas and work with other women, who are the majority in this area. Also allowed me to introduce my work to a wider audience.
From the perspective of the organization, as often happens in these events, everything was pretty poor even if the people responsible to take care of us were present and extensive in the course of their work, at least within the limits of their capabilities.
The fact is that in Cagliari, you do not understand why these events are always considered
the last wagon wheel , as if artists and craftsmen were not part of a well-established, but were exclusively of the "characters
" with nothing else better to do ...
It 's true the tivvù came to interview us and film our work, but only at the "Fashion Show
"
which took place on Sunday 16 at 19.00, closed The choice of' some time was reasoned! Instead
fact organize the parade at 16:00 or 17:00 on a Sunday for the tedium of the total population of Cagliari, (like every Sunday in the city center because there is never anything to do), the
organizers have seen fit to
organize a fashion show - the biggest attractions of the public - at 19.00 knowing that by the provisions of the Fair have been all week
"closes at 20.00" ....
Sunday and it was obviously one of those days of large crowds, and what for? Watching the parade .... but right after the parade, when people, turning, they noticed us and decided to browse among the stalls set up well, here comes the guard and send them all away because
"closes! all out to please gentlemen "Of course a nice thought! And if you were organized
that same parade at 16.00? They would probably all had more time to show their works?
grouping the various impressions of colleagues' experience, I assure all of them have complained about the same thing today that we are people, send them away because the fashion show was organized too late ....
course was free.
course who would have thought to exhibit at the fair.
But also certain that the event was not advertised properly ... not even a poster at the entrance of the Fair was the least imagine that there was also - in other 3 or 4 organized simultaneously - an event so interesting to the dedicated talents and knowledge of women who I assure you they are many and range from simple to decoupage embroidery of the finest.
And yet certain that we would be better organized to get everybody a little 'more attention, in a city like Cagliari, where these things really are always fresh because they considered nonsense mica culture. Where in other parts of the world instead ART and CRAFT are a people's culture as well as literature, poetry, and ... political debates or football games that truly fill only the pages of the newspapers and nothing else.
Hopefully then next year, all of them because we believe that those responsible has noted the negative things, and experience to turn them into positive things .... W
women!
Here are some photos anyway ....
