This luminaria proposes a "reconversion" of the imagery associated to the name of the Mirafiori district, changing it to MIRAFLORA, in reference to the ancient Miraflores Castle from which it took its name. The work is the winner of the Urrà competition, which included an artist residency with one of the families who live in the "tower houses" of Via Artom in Mirafiori south, a public housing complex built in the late 1960s to provide a home to the new citizens who arrived in Turin to work at Fiat. Due to the Covid19 pandemic, the artist, inspired by Luci d'Artista, thought of a work that could be hosted in her place and be activated by the inhabitants. The luminaria presents a reinterpretation and a new narrative of a quarter with a high density of "green", a district where people live well, breathe, where there is oxygen.
