Are you ready to share your vision of the world and see it exhibited during Milan Design Week (April 7-13, 2025)?
RUFA invites you to participate in the new edition of #CosmoIAM, a creative lab promoted by Cosmopolitan that engages students aged 19 to 25 from all over Italy in a visual and narrative exploration of connection and its role in our lives. Hundreds of students submit their vision of the world in the form of: stories, comics, photographs, videos, illustrations, artworks, and installations.
What does #CosmoIAM ask for?
To tell what connections are, what being connected means to you, and what it feels like to live in a (hyper)connected reality.
What does it mean to live in a connected world? What does it mean to be connected? How do you relate to happiness in the world of connections? Do you ever feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or crushed by hyperconnectivity? What desires drive you to be connected?
Geographically, virtually, sexually, in relation to others and the environment?
Among the works submitted by RUFA students, 2 pieces and 1 video will be selected to be featured in CosmoIAM2025 and exhibited for the entire duration of the exhibition. Additionally, other works will be published in a carousel on Instagram, created in collaboration between Cosmopolitan and the RUFA account. Both the exhibited and published works will be selected by an internal jury and a jury from the CosmoIAM project.
