In late 2022, Helena Hladilová was invited to a research-based residency promoted by Pinacoteca G.A. Lev is and curated by ARTECO and CRIPTA 747, to realise a project that dialogues with the territory of the Susa Valley. Interested in the world of handicrafts, from weaving techniques to stone cutting, Hladilová has approached the traditions of popular folklore and the intangible narratives - through history - hand down legends and mythologies.

Viaindustriae is a cultural association and publishing house based in Foligno, PG, Italy. Founded in 2005, it promotes projects and artistic research ranging from museum exhibitions, site-specific installations, public actions, artist residencies and publications in various formats. In the last ten years, the publishing activity has consolidated to become the association's main field of action. Viaindustriae publishes artists' books, experimental research books, territorial studies, exhibition catalogues, monographic catalogues - among other forms of publishing - using publishing practice as a generative tool for artistic experimentation. The books have different formats that do not follow the standards of a canonical publishing practice but rather the needs and specificities of each project. Viaindustriae sees the publishing practice as an act of translation that requires a transformation of the art or visual work into a new form, where the work itself develops new possibilities and meanings; this is why each book becomes an autonomous platform and not just an opportunity to transfer content.
