The Gliacrobati Gallery was born in 2017 from an idea of ​​a group of operators from the non-profit association Fermata d'Autobus as an exhibition space - which looks at the complexities and fragility of the existing - aimed at international dialogue between mainstream and non-mainstream contemporary art to investigate its precious, porous and jagged border areas. For this purpose, the research of authors who operate outside the official art system, independently or in protected places is valorised: self-taught, outsiders or artists who come from war zones or areas of economic and cultural crisis.

A particular voice is given to contemporary art as a tool for reflection and combating violations of human rights and gender violence. Our work also aims to weave threads of reconnection between Art and its healing function and as an instrument for investigating the psyche, a function which, although not necessarily the aim of the creative vocation, is certainly one of its most direct consequences.
The projects we carry out investigate the concept of Art in relation to its ability to sublimate lacerations, intercept fragility, delve into emotions, ask questions and activate those vision processes that the collective imagination tends to conceal under the ordinariness of everyday life, thus recovering a social dimension of Art and restoring to the Artist his role as inventor of new worlds and creator of bridges between our experience and the complex depth of existence. In addition to the exhibition activity, the Gliacrobati Gallery supports an atelier -workshop open to artists and psychiatric patients with dual diagnoses, coordinated by Carola Lorio photo-art therapist and Francesco Sena, created in collaboration with the therapeutic communities Fermata d'Autobus and Fragole Celesti (see Collettivo Gliacrobati).

In a historical moment in which beauty seems to be losing ground as a daily life brutalized and strangled by violence takes over, the artistic experience itself, with its look within, can be an instrument of resistance and provide a new key to understanding relationships humans.

The Gliacrobati Collective collaborates with artists and professionals close to the world of mental distress.
