Mission and Objectives

aMAZElab is investigating the key points of territory and society, handling the great themes of changing realities from an artistic point of view. It sets out to create an anthropology of day to day life. It is not a defined space, a container of works, yet it is able to transform the territory into an ongoing workshop-cum-field of action. The city and its inhabitants are openly surveyed from a wide variety of observation points, following the movements of groups and peaking into the folds of urban living, opening up new spaces for discussion and art exhibitions

Main Projects / Activities

The researches are addressed to contemporary subjects such as: mobility, borders, new geographies, new EU, Mediterranean and eastern cultures, micro-geographies, ect...
