Training
​
The world of culture, in par with the times, is changing, and along with this development come new figures who work as a team for the success of projects and exhibition routes, which ensure the complex dissemination of the cultural machine.
AREA.lab was created to group most of these figures into a single course, giving students a comprehensive overview of the professions that currently exist in the field of culture and the work each one does.
An innovative course in cultural design, from criticism to curatorship, culminating in a real final project at the Summer Exhibition of the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin.
The Goal
The purpose of AREA.lab is to introduce the professional figures that exist in the world of culture today, to bring people into contact with them, and to give them the opportunity to carry out concrete projects directly in the field.
The course, in fact, is developed through a period of face-to-face lectures that will be joined later by workshops with experts in the field and will end with a real design of complete exhibition route.
It will also be possible, for those who stand out, to activate internship paths with the realities that collaborate with AREA.lab.
.

AREA.lab will start on February 17, 2023 and end on June 30, 2023.
