Luigi Coppola

 
Luigi Coppola (born in Lecce, Italy) is an artist, agroecologist, upholder of participatory projects driven by an innovative approach to the politics of the Commons and author of actions designed to activate collective potentials. His work is rooted in site-specific research of social, political and cultural subjects, collectivization of goods, activation of relational dynamics and processes of emancipation and imagination. Since 2013 he is engaged with Casa delle Agriculture in Castiglione d'Otranto (Lecce, Italy) as co-activator of a complex and multilayered process of participative agriculture, recuperation of polluted lands, creation of a participative economy, which revolves around the annual festival Notte Verde: Agriculture, utopias and community, the Parco Comune dei Frutti Minori (Common Park of the Minor Fruits) and Scuola di Agriculture (School of Agricultures), a pedagogical platform that combines agroecological knowledge with artistic strategies and builds relationships with migrant communities, students, farmers and activists. Luigi led a research and workshop revolving around soil, agriculture and pollution in Lubumbashi and Katanga and developed a long term path with a small group of cultural practitioners involved in Ateliers Picha.
