Join us for the cHURCH OF MONIKA as we participate in Terzo Paradiso by creating our own symbol of The Third Paradise. This is a free event. Bagels and coffee will be served.

In 2003, Michelangelo Pistoletto wrote The Third Paradise (Terzo Paradiso) manifesto and drew its symbol. The basic idea of the Third Paradise is the overcoming of the current worldwide existing conflict between the two polarities of nature and artifice. The Third Paradise is symbolically represented by a reconfiguration of the mathematical infinity sign. In the symbol of the Third Paradise three circles are drawn: the two opposite circles signify nature and artifice; the middle one is the conjunction of the two and represents the generative womb of a new humanity.

The Third Paradise is the passage to a new level of planetary civilization, essential to ensure the survival of the human race. To this purpose we first of all need to re-form the principles and the ethical behaviours guiding our common life. The Third Paradise is the great myth that leads everyone to take personal responsibility in the global vision.

Monika Wuhrer, our own executive director, is an ambassador of the Third Paradise and will lead the event.
