VoxFem – On the Trail of Women's Voices

VoxFem 2025: the third edition

The third edition of VoxFem – On the Trail of Women's Voices was held in Monopoli from April 11 to 13, 2025, at the Prospero Rendella Civic Library, with artistic direction by Lorena Carbonara and the collaboration of the international VoxFem network.

The program featured in-depth meetings, three concerts, a workshop, and a painting exhibition. Friday, April 11, saw the opening of the exhibition "Free. Portraits of women capable of freedom" by artist Laura Scalera. Highlights included a dialogue with Amata Albero and Erica Pugliese on roots, diasporas, and remains, and the concert "Under the rose tree" with Martha Mavroidi (vocals and lavta) and Peppe Frana (oud), weaving together the voices of the Mediterranean.

As is tradition for the festival, admission was free subject to availability, and meetings were accompanied by Italian Sign Language interpretation, confirming VoxFem's commitment to inclusion within the Monopoli community and Puglia.
