“Farm Cultural Park’ is a cultural activities area where adults can play. There are no animals present and nor is there any strip of green land, contrary to what the name leads us to believe. The ‘Farm Cultural Park’ is more of an imaginative playground within a once run-down area of the historic city centre, now rejuvenated. A sort of hip-and-happening, yuppie place that is attracting quite an interesting and eclectic crowd within the Agrigento region in Sicily.
Here you can find an exciting cultural mix, buzzing with little shops and eateries. Converted run-down houses now form exciting exhibition rooms and gathering places for local artists as well as for lectures and presentations. In fact, the area is so bustling you feel as though you’ve entered some sort of creative beehive – sort of Alice in Wonderlandish in a sense as you’re compelled to look up at walls constantly in amazement.
Furthermore, modern art is made particularly tangible at the ‘Farm Cultural Park’ in Favara. In various rooms, you have the opportunity to view all sorts of displays of light, textures and shapes – an indeed interesting creation and artsy utilization of a once-neglected space.
Upon entering the park, one quickly realises that this is a place for thinkers, for open-minded liberals. A place where perceptions are challenged (as with the purpose of art in general) and where new and innovative ideas are founded. Brightly graffitied walls with protest statements, powerful sentences and strong symbols of liberation are evidence of this.”
