Zola Jesus Famous Russian-American singer-songwriter: her music is a particular mix of genres, from electronic to folk to gothic: her production is constantly changing. This is the artist’s poetics, in which the need to escape the current world and a corrupt humanity is expressed by seeking refuge in nature, to start taking care of oneself again. A combination of elements, including colours, landscapes, words and sounds, are central to his video clips: suggestions that describe the artist’s state of mind.

The initiative is organised by the Controradio Club, the Opera di Santa Croce and Controradio, together with the cultural association La Nottola Di Minerva. This project is part of major exhibitions and festivals of the “Estate Fiorentina” organized by the Florence Municipality with the contribution of the Metropolitan City of Florence. “Genius Loci, discovering Santa Croce” is unique on the Italian scene.
