Men can learn to know themselves through their relationship with nature; awakening in them feelings, curiosity, fears etc., thus bringing out the most authentic side of one’s own being.

Precisely through the visions of the natural world, the call for the exhibition "Wildness" intends to select works that can express a "romantic" approach to nature, as well as those works of the documentary, scientific -anthropological/ -botany/ -zoological kind that help us get in touch with it.
