InVisibile Festival starts tomorrow: from 20 to 22 October at IBM Studios Milano.

Milano. Starting tomorrow Gae Aulenti Square, at IBM Studios Milano, the first edition of InVisible Festival, the festival organized by the Bullone foundation and dedicated to new generations to generate new awareness among young people and adults through dialogue and the transformative power of art and storytelling. The boys and girls of Bullone, the B.Liver, will be the true protagonists of the festival that will continue until Sunday 22 October. There will be no stages: IBM Studios it will in fact be transformed into a large agora in which everyone will be able to speak and express ideas, emotions and desires.

The Bullone foundation, founded by the social entrepreneur Bill Niada in 2012, works with adolescents and young adults who live or have lived theexperience of serious or chronic illnesses, involving them in projects with companies and professionals through which they can go beyond the disease and rediscover their identity, their passions, develop skills and share talents.

FIRST DAY PROGRAM

In-Editorial

To kick off InVisible Festival – after greetings from Luca Altieri, VP Marketing & Communication IBM Technology, EMEA; Bill Niada e Lamberto Bertolé, Councilor for Welfare and Health of the Municipality of Milano and a special introduction by some students from the Design major Precious Blood Art High School in Monza – an open-door editorial meeting of The Bolt, monthly newspaper directed by Giancarlo Perego, conceived and created by B.Liver together with journalists, volunteers and professionals, which offers reflections on topics such as corporate social responsibility, inclusion, rights and sustainability. Together with B. Liver, school students, young people and representatives of profit and non-profit organisations, friends of Bolt from different generations will launch three themes on which to build a collective thought. The first theme is: Is merit (not) the way? to reflect on how being together is the path: including the invisible, taking responsibility, with a new look at failure, performance and success. The second topic we will discuss is What don't you see? What doesn't appear before your eyes, what do you miss, what do you lose? and finally we will discuss words and actions to build a valuable society together with a reflection on the topic Thanks, sorry, I'm here, I love you.

The artist Giorgio Maria Romanelli will draw in real time a conceptual map of what will emerge during the meeting.

In-Exhibition: Scars

On the occasion of the festival, the Bolt will bring to IBM Studios Milano also another very important project of the foundation: CICATR/CI, a traveling and incremental exhibition, a collective work of art that represents a journey to discover the beauty and strength of fragility. The exhibition will be open tomorrow at the time ofinauguration of the festival and can be visited for free for all three days. They will be exhibited, in a choral installation, the sketches of hundreds of people who wanted to transform their fragility and scars into art.

We all have at least one scar. Some on the body, some in the heart, some in the soul: the participants of InVisibile Festival will have the opportunity to get involved and become part of this work of art. They were involved in the project some Milanese and Lombard schools: smale and female students will bring their works to the festival.
