Rap music is the voice of young people in the neighbourhood, interpreting their stories, experiences and desires. During the opening, the young people will perform some tracks from their new album N.I.E.N.T.E. This album was created during the rap writing workshop 'Up to You', led by rapper Kiave with the support of Gigi Tufariello, thanks to the commitment of the Formattart Association, an association that has been offering artistic projects to young people for years, particularly in the Corvetto district, and in the Milan area. As a visual artist, Baukje Spaltro shares the stage with local artists, particularly in Corvetto, and has been fascinated by the energy of young rappers.

Wednesday 22 May, 6 p.m.
The artist Pierluigi Slis and CubeArt produce for the Piazzale della Fabbrica the performative and relational action Daddy Shake, curated by Chiara Canali, which through role-playing addresses the issue of balancing parental roles post-separation in the contemporary family. CubeArt, founded by Ana María Pedroso Guerrero, proposes art as a language capable of promoting intercultural exchange.
