The Public Talk series ‘ASYLUM’ begins: our first guest will be Jordan Anderson.
RUFA will host a series of five Public Talks, five live streaming interviews with special guests with whom the five disciplinary areas of the Academy will be explored: Cinema, Design, Visual Arts, Game Art and Sustainable Fashion. A confrontation between professionals, young artists and designers, in a complex historical moment poised between health, climate, geopolitical and humanitarian emergencies.
ASYLUM is understood both in its original meaning of ‘space where capture is not permitted’, and in the ambiguity of its meanings of sacred place, of shelter, temporary or permanent, of fundamental right to immunity, of condition of instability, of physical and emotional isolation with special forms of cooperation and cohabitation.
