The Recovery Plan_Program
The Recovery Plan is a temporary Black Cultural Center created by BHMF for the city of Florence. For one month’s time, the center provides a research platform, exhibition venue, projection room and forum dedicated to Italian rooted meditations on Afro- Descendent cultures that seek to dismantle the expectations and shortcuts that too frequently undermine the complexity and diversity attestable to the African continent and its’ diaspora. Transforming the gallery into a fleeting cultural center the exhibition The Distance Between What We Know and What Can Work, the screening cycle titled, Projecting Beyond Futures and the pop up library, the project affords a glimpse of the broad range of cultural work and scholarship being carried out within the Italian panorama with a transnational focus that bridges the multiple communities that are part of the Florentine landscape.

THE RECOVERY PLAN<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> è un centro temporaneo dedicato alle culture afro-discendenti ideato<br />
da Black History Month Florence (BHMF) per la città di Firenze. Durante un mese, il centro<br />
offrirà una piattaforma di ricerca, uno spazio espositivo, una sala di proiezione e un forum<br />
dedicato alle meditazioni radicate in Italia sulle culture afro-discendenti che cercano di<br />
smantellare le aspettative e le scorciatoie che troppo spesso minano la complessità e la<br />
diversità che si possono verificare all’interno del continente africano e della sua ‘diaspora’.<br />
Trasformando la galleria in un fugace centro culturale con la mostra <strong>The</strong> Distance<br />
Between What We Know and What Can Work, un ciclo di video intitolato Projecting<br />
Beyond Futures e una biblioteca pop-up, il progetto offre uno spaccato dell’ampia gamma<br />
di lavori culturali e di ricerca all’interno del panorama italiano con un focus transnazionale<br />
che collega le diverse comunità che fanno parte del paesaggio fiorentino. L’approccio<br />
multiforme, interdisciplinare e pluri-istituzionale del progetto intende fornire un piano<br />
strategico di recupero per la riscrittura delle narrazioni storicamente represse e la<br />
salvaguardia dei futurismi Neri nel contesto italiano. Il <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> è una collaborazione<br />
con la Fondazione Biagiotti Progetto Arte, MACAAL, Villa Romana, Africa e Mediterraneo,<br />
SRISA, African Diaspora Cinema Festival e Atlantico Festival. Questa mostra segna<br />
l’ultimo progetto dello storico spazio della Galleria Biagiotti in Via delle Belle Donne 39.<br />
Biagiotti Progetto Arte è uno spazio dedicato all’arte contemporanea fondato nel 1997 a<br />
Firenze con lo scopo di promuovere giovani artisti contemporanei, prima come galleria e<br />
poi, nel 2012, come fondazione privata senza scopo di lucro.<br />

<strong>The</strong> project’s multifaceted, cross discipline, pluri-institutional approach intends to provide<br />
a strategic recovery plan for the re-scripting of historically suppressed narratives and the<br />
safeguarding of Black futurisms in the Italian context. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is a collaboration<br />
with the Fondazione Biagiotti Progetto Arte, MACAAL, Villa Romana, Africa e Mediterraneo,<br />

Progetto Arte is a space dedicated to contemporary art that was founded in 1997 in<br />
Florence with the aim of promoting young contemporary artists, first as a gallery and later,<br />
in 2012, as a non-profit private foundation.
