UNIVERSITIES, MUSEUMS, FESTIVALS, CULTURAL AND SOCIAL CENTRES

YOU AS ME / In someone else’s shoes and YOU AS ME _ Flag are participatory art projects based on performance and photography, capable of involving and activating students, researchers, established working groups – as well as cross-sectional groups set up for the occasion – on the themes of inclusion and intercultural communication, starting from the sharing of personal/professional experiences and fabrics.

The workshops can involve up to 70 people at the same time, live or online, and take place preferably over two 3-hour meetings, with a public restitution of the work.

The workshops, led by Irene Pittatore, can be held in several languages with an interpreter and, depending on the objectives and the context of intervention, can include the co-conduction of two contemporary art curators specialized in community projects and public art (Nicoletta Daldanise and Lisa Parola), a trainer and coach specialized in diversity management, intercultural communication and international development (Isabelle Demangeat), a professional educator with experience in the field of addictions and disabilities (Lucia Cavallo) and an anthropologist (Silvia Stefani).
