INTERDEPENDENCE 2025 in Milan

Friday 4 April 2025  

 

The Polimi Design System (the School of Design, the Department of Design, and POLI.Design) invites you for the opening of “INTERDEPENDENCE: Exploring Opposites” at Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, Italy.
 
This international exhibition is organised by the Politecnico di Milano’s Design System for Milano Design Week. 
 
This year, the theme explores how design interacts with polarities and contrasting dimensions, through a selection of projects by students from Politecnico and from a network of about 40 design universities around the world.  

 

In a society characterized by a growing sense of increasing polarization, how can 
design deal with opposites and the nuances in-between polarities to drive 
towards constructive change?  

 
All the exhibited projects do not seek to provide answers or certainties, rather challenge us to imagine new questions and rethink both the present and the future.
 
The exhibition will be open from 5 - 15 April 2025
 
The grand opening will take place on Saturday, 5 April, at 17:00 CEST (until 19:00 CEST)
 
The exhibition's opening weekend will be enriched by the performance “Somewhere, Between”, produced by Campo Teatrale for INTERDEPENDENCE and created by Usine Baug in collaboration with Pietro Francesco Pingitore (visual artist) and Matrix (New Media Artist – Interactive Sound & Visuals). 
 
Premiering on Sunday, 6 April, it will have 3 replicas at 14:30 CEST, 16:00 CEST, and 18:00 CEST
 
"Somewhere, Between" is a participatory audiovisual performance where audience and performers merge, boundaries blur, and opposites reveal their inseparable connection in a co-evolving interplay. 
 
The exhibition will be animated by a rich schedule of events throughout its duration.
