Between June and November, the festival’s eight architectural installations will be activated by an artistic programme led by eight invited artists and designers, through proposals developed in collaboration with local communities. Each project includes a public presentation, but grows out of a participatory process made up of meetings, workshops and shared experiences. For each activation, you’ll find more information on how to get involved.
