The “Flying Art - Oltrepassando i confini” project was born from an idea of the artist Guadalupe Zepeda, representative of the Estudio de artes visuales independiente Frida Khalo with the patronage of the cultural association Kunst Grenzen-Arte di frontier aps, of which he is member, in order to promote an Italy – Mexico exchange with artists from Leopoldina Benitez's Azul Cobalto Foundation, Escuela de Arte Roberto Benitez, Colegio Renacimiento.

Through this initiative we intend to create significant connections through the creative act of Art: to encourage the exchange of cultural experiences between Italian and Mexican artists, to promote and enhance differences through artistic expression and intercultural dialogue, to create bridges of collaboration and understanding between the artistic communities of the two countries.
