Palazzo Litta Cultura presents mappe - contemporary geographies. in the forefront are the territories and borders of Ukraine, Iran, Turkey and Usa/Mexico


Spanning four days of voyage across four regions, Palazzo Litta transforms into a geographical point for visual arts, photography, live music, film screenings, performances, concerts, DJ sets and talks. Palazzo Litta Cultura - the project launched by the Lombardy Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism (MiBACT) and MoscaPartners alongside the support of the Municipality of Milan - hosts Mappe, a 4-day festival of immersion into the creativity of the territories currently taking the spotlight of worldwide political climate.

The festival takes place from June 13 to June 16, 2018, with the press conference scheduled for June 7th at 12:00pm. Turkey, Ukraine, Iran, and USA/Mexico: these are the regions where the enzymes of the contemporary resonate in the arts context, but also in the social and geopolitical ones; they are places where current events, economic upheavals and social impulses attract worldwide attention. They are places of limen, a term derived from Old slavonic and meaning on the border.

Following exhibitions that highlight Japan and Sub-Saharan Africa, Mappe is the third project by Palazzo Litta Cultura dedicated to the geography of contemporary creativity.

One again, the approach is transversal and aims to present a rich program wherein various forms of arts are involved in a collaboration between a diverse set of cultural players from across Milan: MIA Photo Fair Projects with photography, ZEIT Association with visual arts and installation, Ponderosa Music&Art with music curation, esterni for the film festival, and Threes Productions for the DJ set.
