The workshop discusses experiences and strategies of public art and archaeology in Rome, focusing on the exhibition dedicated to the Virus Group currently ongoing at the Drugstore Museum on Via Portuense 317. The exhibition chronicles the work of Giulio Ceraldi, Consuelo Chierici, Stefano De Santis, and Giancarlo Savino, artists residing in Corviale who have been engaged in public art practices for decades.
