This event aims to create an analysis of the "economic problem," a question that does not originate with economic science, traditionally interpreted as the "management of the household" by Aristotle, but rather with humanity, with its existence, an element shared with artistic expressions visible since the dawn of civilization. The artists have interpreted the relationship between art and economics with the support of Professors Stefano Lucarelli, Lecturer in Ethics and Political Economy and International Monetary Economics, and Giancarlo Beltrame, Lecturer in Political Economy and Monetary Economics at the University of Bergamo.

The exhibition explored how art can position itself within the social system, what role it should play to serve a purpose, and how it can provide an interpretation, reflection, critique, or provocation on the vast phenomenon of persistent inequality and horror that fractures society, fueling the personal freedoms of a privileged few while reinforcing the laissez-faire nature of the economic market.
