The three-day event also presents a unique opportunity to get to know first-hand the personal and professional projects behind each firm, which are committed to innovation and artistic experimentation from an ecological perspective. Similarly, the public will have the opportunity to participate in such processes via various workshops to be held throughout the weekend.
