MARCH 14 h 7.30 pm
We propose an informal dialogue on contemporary issues supported by images and conviviality. Once again, we will sit around and set the table (as much as possible) to discuss cross-cutting themes across practices and professions with few hierarchies, if not a tyrant-timer! Elisabetta Cameli will introduce the topics of the dinner.
DIGGING IN TO THE SPACE - FLORÌDA 2023
A publication encompassing the summary of activities during Florìda's first year is now available.
You will find many images of works by the artists we had the opportunity to host, as well as some moments and reflections on the creation of the space and our mission. If you would be interested, write to us by email or drop by the studio.
