Bob Dylan between music and memory, in Modica a journey to relive the atmosphere of the Sixties

A journey through music, memory, and civic engagement to revisit one of the most intense seasons of contemporary history.

On Friday, March 20, at 6 PM, at the Bottega Casa don Puglisi in Modica (Corso Umberto 160), the initiative “Songs for Peace and Civil Rights. Bob Dylan and the 1960s” is scheduled.

The protagonists of the evening will be Giancarlo Poidomani, narrator and guitarist, and Daniele Catrame, lead guitarist.

Through stories, readings, and live performances, the audience will be taken on a journey that evokes the cultural and political climate of the decade, marked by civil rights battles, the peace movement, and profound social changes.

The songs of Bob Dylan, then an authentic collective conscience, became the soundtrack of an entire generation. Iconic tracks like Blowin’ in the Wind and The Times They Are A-Changin’ captured the aspirations of those who sought peace, justice, and equality.

«How many times must a man turn his head / pretending he just doesn’t see?», recites one of his most famous verses: a question that transcends decades and continues to challenge consciences in the face of injustice and indifference.

The meeting will not only offer a musical moment but also an opportunity for reflection on the role of the author's song as a tool for denunciation and social transformation.

A journey through words and notes to rediscover the relevance of Dylan's message and a season that has deeply influenced contemporary culture.

An event open to all, to listen, remember, and reflect on how music can be a voice of freedom and hope.
