IMAGINE CAMP, 2022

At the end of June 2022, artist Andrea Crespi completed a significant public art piece titled “Imagine Camp,” created in collaboration with the renowned street artist Manu Invisible. This artistic project transformed an urban public space into a symbol of hope and community.

The work, conceived during a time marked by 59 armed conflicts around the world, stands as a dissonant voice challenging the brutality of war, offering an alternative rooted in peace and solidarity. Through the revitalization of the space, sport was chosen as a metaphor for unity and collaboration, highlighting the value of togetherness as an antidote to division and violence.

“Imagine Camp” goes beyond simply decorating the environment; it invites citizens to reflect on the importance of social cohesion. Thanks to the contributions of Nicolò Signori, Waro, and Stefano Bosatelli, the project took shape, further reinforcing the idea that public art can serve as a catalyst for positive change.

Despite the uncertainty and challenges of the present, the piece delivers a clear message: although art cannot erase the past, it has the power to imagine and help create a better future.

This project also led to the creation of a docufilm, available on YouTube, which captures the creative process and the message the artwork aims to convey.
