They fight prejudices and shake up the canons of modern literature and contemporary art; they are sister souls, of few words, great thought and many dreams. Petite and delicate, they are reminiscent of the mythical janas (fairies) and, like them, they emanate powerful and enchanted energies, giving voice to the women of the deepest Sardinia and to the poetry of their native places, Barbagia and Ogliastra. Here you can find Maria Lai's greatest works, in the Ulassai countryside, along the mountain paths towards the miracle of nature that is the su Marmuri cave and inside the village, alongside those of international artists who wanted to celebrate her creative genius by marking her places with their art. Maria Lai will pay the same tribute to Grazia Deledda by installing her latest work in Nuoro, a few steps from the Chiesa della Solitudine church where the only female Nobel Prize winner for literature rests. Andando via (‘Going away’) is a journey through the life-filled silences of Deledda's women, through places inhabited by myths and millenary legends, a poetic world that has nourished the artistic sensitivity of both.
