Debates, workshops, music, theatre, dance, cinema, creative improvisation, and above all, CON-FUSION: join the conversation on future, integration and optimism at Fabrica on April 6 and 7.
The densely packed programme features personalities from the artistic and intellectual scenes who will give an insight into the development of the human and social condition, migratory flows and aspects of integration today, and in particular what the future holds for these. The subject will be dealt with from every angle, from the false myths we hear every day and the massacres in the Mediterranean through to integration models that work and how Italy will change in the years ahead.
“What we have in mind is a new Cabaret Voltaire”, says Toscani “lots of friends, men and women, have accepted to come along and so we’ll be meeting here to discuss, in a festive atmosphere, the direction the future is taking.”

Luciano Benetton’s global non-profit contemporary art initiative, now with the participation of over 155 countries and native communities and more than 25,000 artists. Objective: dialogue, research, and knowledge of our world’s different cultures.
In Between
Itinerant collective work: a space where nobody is a stranger
Nido by Gianluca Vassallo and Maurizio Bosa
Ephemeral architecture that moves through towns and cities, interacting with the urban space like a new, extraneous body and inviting all to come in. A sensory device like a nest, inside of which are ten migrants/talking birds with ten questions sure to be recognized by anyone who has been a foreigner even once.
NEWUMANITY by Marco Morosini
Two hundred thousand years ago at least six species of humans inhabited the Earth. Today only one remains: us, Homo Sapiens. Our evolution has endowed us with self-awareness with which we started writing our story. Since the Paleolithic we have experienced a slow and constant technical and cultural development.
To the manifestation of phenomena unknown to us, we found a device in the gods.
Over the centuries we have created borders, issued laws, and determined the value of our assets by giving a price. All this has led us to be the society we are. The secret of our success is imagination. NEWUMANITY imagines new dimensions that tear down all the limits we ourselves have created, where there is no social distinction but a fusion of cultures and ideals.
Read my tape by Monica Pastrello
