Futura. Changes and visions of the contemporary. Miasino and Ameno, 22-23 May 2009
On Friday May 22 at Castello di Miasino and on Saturday May 23 at the Museum of Palazzo Tornielli in Ameno (Novara, Italy) will be held the conference "Futura. Changes and visions of the contemporary”. Protagonists of the contemporary, coming from different areas – from the art world, anthropology, technological innovation, medicine and psychoanalysis – will analyse the issue of the future, to share experiences and pre-visions, in an occasion for inter-comparison . The conference is organised by Asilo Bianco in collaboration with the Department of Mental Health of Novara Hospital, which this year hosted an art-therapy workshop within a course of art study and research on this subject. The meeting aims to offer a reflection on the trends, dynamics and the forms that tomorrow will characterize our society, trying to delineate, from different perspectives, some paths of the future.
Among the speakers, the anthropologist Marc Augé, formerly Director of the School of High Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS) in Paris, Eugenio Borgna, Emeritus Chief of the Department of Psychiatry at the Hospital of Novara and Professor in Nervous and Mental Diseases at the University of Milan, Alberto Castellanza, Area Manager at Asia / Pacific and Head of Novamont, Inventor of the Year in 2007, Juan Carlos De Martin, Lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering at Politecnico in Turin and Head of the Creative Commons Italy working group, and Co-founder and director of the Nexa Center. Michelangelo Pistoletto and Love Difference coordinator Filippo Fabbrica will also take part in the conference. Subscriptions by Friday 15 May 2009.
