All the themes have different meanings and points of view.
There are historical, nature, art, architectural and cultural
elements.
The intention of the group will be important to build up a collective view
in which every participant can find unexpected artistic aspects
and can develop a personal approach in cooperation,
investigation and realization through art projects.
It is also possible to create an own theme, and/or to come with
an own selected group of artists/students.
Individual students can apply for an student-in-residence to
execute an individual project related to their graduation or
research.
