Environmental, Social, Relational

The title of this new workshop and lecture program is rooted in Fabrica’s heritage of cross-cultural creativity for social concern. Its precise definition however emerges directly from a recent debate between Fabrica’s researchers that had the specific objective to identify common interest platforms for future studies.

Environmental, social and relational themes are central to human ecology, a transdisciplinary field using holistic approaches in the search for harmony between people and their natural and created environments but mainly between people and their societies.

Along these lines Fabrica wants to investigate, experiment, catalyze, document and disseminate how contemporary communication, design and artistic expression can contribute to helping people solve problems and enhance human potential, within near and far environments.

The workshop series will bring to Fabrica international creatives from all fields of communication, design and technology that have in common the desire to apply innovation to social improvement.
