About March 8th and Surroundings
A review for reflection
8 Marzo e Dintorni is the event series that Palazzolo sull'Oglio, in the province of Brescia, dedicates annually to International Women's Day. Promoted by the municipal administration and the Equal Opportunities Commission, the event is not limited to March 8th alone but extends for almost three weeks, intertwining different languages and occasions.
Culture, prevention, and community
The calendar alternates photographic exhibitions, concerts, theatrical performances, prevention meetings, and community moments. A program that uses culture as a tool for reflection on rights, equality, and issues concerning the female condition, involving local associations, schools, musicians, and theatre companies.
Between exhibitions, music, and theatre
The events range from photographic exhibitions at the Lanfranchi Civic Library to concerts at the Casa della Musica, from performances at the Teatro Sociale to prevention meetings in the Sala Civica, and spring markets in Piazza Roma. A widespread event that makes Palazzolo a laboratory of culture and civil engagement around the female figure for three weeks.
