Starting from the city as we know and have known it, and from our own memories of the city, we will try to imagine an ideal city, together, where the ideal is understood and conceived as a collective. From an individual futurological scenario we will arrive at another, shared one, and we will try to transcribe and materialize it in the form of a fanzine.

The activity is free. Due to the restrictions in place in response to the current health crisis, the workshop is offered exclusively to adults. A maximum of 8 people can participate. 

The activity will be developed in two sessions, the first will take place on 28 May from 5 pm to 9 pm; the second will take place on 29 May from 11 am to 4 pm.

To participate please send an email by 8 pm on Friday 21 May to edu@museomacro.it, with the subject line “IL FUTURO ERA IERI” and with answers to the following three questions (max. 500 characters per question):

Who are you?

Why do you want to participate in the The future was yesterday?

How do you imagine your city of the future?

NB: The dates may be subject to change due to the measures taken by the government in response to the ongoing Covid-19 health emergency.

The activity will be in Italian.
