Practices as an Intersection in a Fragile Environment | Fabbrica del Vapore Milan

Practices as an Intersection in a Fragile Environment, is a project by the independent curator Mr Claudio Zecchi. It is a debate and a platform of reflection in a perspective that puts the artistic practices at the center of a path that has in a fragile and precarious territory, as the one of the relationship between art and activism, the reference coordinates.

The project will be developed in three panel of discussions in which we will try to answer from different perspectives and points of view to the following questions: which is the role of art in society at large? What is the role of artists, curators and institutions? What is the relationship with the audience and finally what role the audience play?
