SUMMARY:Moon Through My Lens
DESCRIPTION:A single photograph has the power to capture a moment\, evoke emotions\, and tell a story that words alone cannot. On the occasion of International Moon Day (20 July 2026)\, Infinity Space Club (UPES Dehradun\, India)\, in collaboration with the Moon Village Association (MVA)\, invites photography enthusiasts\, storytellers\, and space lovers to participate in “Moon Through My Lens” – an online photography and storytelling competition that celebrates creativity through the beauty of our closest celestial neighbour. \nParticipants are invited to capture one original photograph of the Moon using any device of their choice\, whether a smartphone or a professional camera. Along with the photograph\, they must submit a short story inspired by the image. The story may be fiction or non-fiction\, reflecting the participant’s own thoughts\, memories\, emotions\, experiences\, or imagination inspired by the Moon. \nThe competition aims to encourage participants to look beyond the Moon as an astronomical object and explore the stories\, emotions\, and perspectives it inspires. By combining photography with creative writing\, this initiative seeks to foster a meaningful connection between science\, art\, and human expression while celebrating the universal fascination with Earth’s only natural satellite.

SUMMARY:Luna e Psiche: Ritmi\, Visioni\, Futuri
DESCRIPTION:La seconda edizione della Festa della Luna\, organizzata dal Circolo culturale Corso Umberto\, si svolgerà nell’omonimo Corso a Pantelleria Centro\, lunedì 20 luglio. Si tratta di una celebrazione collettiva che intreccia performance artistiche\, mostre fotografiche e momenti collettivi per esplorare la relazione profonda tra la Luna e la psiche umana.\nL’edizione 2026\, costruita attorno al tema ufficiale “One Moon\, One Vision\, One Future”\, è interpretata attraverso una prospettiva mediterranea: la Luna come simbolo comune della ciclicità del tempo\, di trasformazione attraverso culture e generazioni diverse.\nLa Festa della Luna trova le radici nel paesaggio naturale di Pantelleria e nella sua cultura— un’isola vulcanica dove il mare\, il vento e il cielo sono sempre stati protagonisti. È un invito a guardare insieme verso l’alto\, e a riconoscere nella Luna un linguaggio comune dell’umanità.\nL’evento comprende performance artistiche ispirate ai cicli lunari e alla loro risonanza nel corpo e nella mente\n– Mostra fotografica di Nicola Ferrari “Rocce Lunari” che esplora il paesaggio lunare di Pantelleria\n– “Ciaula scopre la Luna ” di L. Pirandello. Drammatizzazione a cura di Antonietta Valenza e Lucia Boldi\n–  Presentazione con l’Autore del libro “Volevo un tè al limone. La mia vita da bipolare” di Fabio   Macaluso a colloquio con Ferruccio Osimo\, psichiatra e scrittore. Il termine “bipolare” contiene il concetto dei due poli\, due estremi\, due facce della stessa cosa. Come la luna piena e la luna nuova\, come la luce e il buio come l’oscillare continuo (ciclicità) che non si può fermare ma che bisogna saper navigare per sopravvivere.\n– Spettacolo di Teatro Danza con coinvolgimento del pubblico a cielo aperto. “Lunario” con Giulia Pesole\, Viola Centi e Gabriele Manfredi. Le sonorità popolari interpretano la “memoria sociale” dei popoli mediterranei con le tradizioni legate alla cultura contadina in rapporto alle fasi lunari. La “festa” è intesa come momento di aggregazione\, corteggiamento e sollievo alle fatiche estenuanti del lavoro agricolo. \n\n\n\nE inoltre…\n– installazione della luna su Corso Umberto\n– allestimento vetrine a tema lunare\n– Info Point di Astronomy Pantelleria con Leonardo Puleo che metterà a disposizione un telescopio per “catturare” in diretta le immagini del cielo e proiettarle su schermo in diretta \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe second edition of the Moon Festival\, organized by the Corso Umberto Cultural Association\, will take place on Monday\, 20 July\, along Corso Umberto in the center of Pantelleria. \n\n\n\nThe festival is a collective celebration that brings together artistic performances\, photographic exhibitions\, and shared experiences to explore the profound relationship between the Moon and the human psyche. \n\n\n\nThe 2026 edition\, built around the official theme “One Moon\, One Vision\, One Future\,” is interpreted through a Mediterranean perspective\, presenting the Moon as a shared symbol of the cyclical nature of time and of transformation across cultures and generations. \n\n\n\nThe Moon Festival is deeply rooted in Pantelleria’s natural landscape and cultural heritage\, an island shaped by volcanic forces\, where the sea\, the wind\, and the sky have always played a central role. It is an invitation to look up together and recognize the Moon as a universal language shared by all humanity. \n\n\n\nThe event includes: \n\n\n\n\nArtistic performances inspired by the lunar cycles and their resonance within the body and the mind.\n\n\n\nThe photographic exhibition “Lunar Rocks” by Nicola Ferrari\, exploring Pantelleria’s Moon-like landscape.\n\n\n\nA theatrical adaptation of “Ciaula Discovers the Moon” by Luigi Pirandello\, performed by Antonietta Valenza and Lucia Boldi.\n\n\n\nA conversation with author Fabio Macaluso about his book “I Wanted Lemon Tea: My Life with Bipolar Disorder\,” in dialogue with psychiatrist and writer Ferruccio Osimo. The term bipolar embodies the idea of two poles\, two extremes\, two sides of the same reality\, much like the full Moon and the new Moon\, light and darkness\, and the continuous oscillation\, or cyclical rhythm\, that cannot be stopped but must instead be understood and navigated in order to live with it.\n\n\n\nAn open-air dance theatre performance\, “Lunario\,” featuring Giulia Pesole\, Viola Centi\, and Gabriele Manfredi\, with audience participation. Through traditional folk music\, the performance explores the social memory of Mediterranean peoples and their agricultural traditions connected to the phases of the Moon. The “festival” is portrayed as a time for gathering\, courtship\, and relief from the exhausting demands of agricultural work.\n\n\n\n\nIn addition\, visitors can enjoy: \n\n\n\n\nA large Moon installation along Corso Umberto.\n\n\n\nShop window displays decorated with lunar-themed installations.\n\n\n\nAn Astronomy Pantelleria information point\, where Leonardo Puleo will provide a telescope to capture live images of the night sky and project them onto a screen in real time.
