Pieranna Cavalchini (Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum) will explore the work of Italian artist Fabio Mauri (1926-2009) and his groundbreaking 1971 performance pieces What is Fascism? and Ebrea. These were among the first Italian contemporary artworks to confront the persecution of the Jews and the legacy of Nazi-Fascism, prompting the public to consider its own role as spectator and witness. The lecture will address Mauri’s enduring relevance in reflecting on collective memory, ideology, and the role of Italy in the Holocaust.
