TRACK RECORD
RESILIENCE
Resilienza is a working group born in Milan in 2013 from the will of Ilaria Bignotti and Francesco Arecco, together with a first group of intellectuals and artists.
Its purpose is to enhance the historical and current Italian cultural heritage and to generate opportunities for dialogue with the rest of the world.
Resilience is not politically aligned and has no legal form. In this way she is free to collaborate and act with all organizations; the only foreclosures are ethical in nature.
In recent years Resilienza has worked with institutions, associations and businesses, creating exhibitions, cultural events, debates and publications.
