Project partner
Cantieri Meticci APS is collective of artists from over twenty countries around the world. In Bologna it has been activating for years workshops that mix different arts and people, in the belief that to create something really new you need to look for it and cultivate it where no one has ever looked before. And so we go to suburban neighborhoods, schools, shelters, small neighborhood libraries, parishes. And we meet people: sometimes reluctant, sometimes annoyed, often eager to tell a story, and to engage in a project that puts them at the center.
The company is led by director Pietro Floridia.
