Mission and Objectives

We are a non profit research agency based in Milan, Italy, active in the field of the Visual Arts. We work with artists, designers architects and performers, and the public attempting to bring them together in meaningful ways. Our approach is interdisciplinary and cross cultural.
Our aims are:
promoting collective awareness of resources and potential of the local;
providing opportunities for cross cultural exchange;
implementing ideas for urban ecologies;
acting as catalysts for change and a sustainable future.

Main Projects / Activities

One of Connecting Cultures’ main activities is to work with artists on public projects in problematic urban areas. Artists, working as catalysts for change whether in city centres or in edge cities or periurban areas, are not marketing oriented and may raise politically sensitive issues difficult to deal with. We strongly believe in the necessity to confront these issues reaching beyond social assistance and politically correct or incorrect policies, basing ideas for change on new perspectives and the involvement of all stakeholders into the equation.
Our ongoing Art and Survival programme based on artists working with Human Rights issues in countries devastated by widespread warfare has developed a variety of reflections and ramifications.
We have founded and manage global and local social networks and digital platforms such as Artplaces.org (now under reconstruction) and Imaginingparcosud.org (also being updated).
