The PRATO-SARAJEVO project has as slogan ART INVASION, the incursion and penetration of art in the city and for the city. The implied references are the wave of immigration to Prato and the siege of Sarajevo during the war in the former Yugoslavia, negatively perceived as economic, social or military "invasion", but which in the artistic project assume instead the positive character of assault, of cultural attack on prejudices, conventional concepts, ethnical and social divisions, proposing new channels of imagination, communication, comfort and dialogue.
