Careof consolidates its collaboration with MADA - Monash University Faculty of Art Design & Architecture, hosting twenty students from the prestigious institute based in Melbourne (Australia), accompanied by the artist duo A Constructed World, to take part in a workshop led by Leone Contini, an artist who explores the relationship between art and food from an anthropological perspective.
A Constructed World – the instructors who accompanied the students from Monash University – invited Leone Contini to propose a reflection on integration, starting from the multicultural territory surrounding Careof’s location: Paolo Sarpi, Milan’s Chinatown. After an in-depth look into Leone’s artistic research, the 20 workshop participants were divided into groups and tasked with engaging with the local community, purchasing products within a limited budget, which were then used to prepare a shared dinner for everyone at FDV Residency Program.
