Since its opening (17.10.2024) at the prestigious Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, A Brave New World has captivated audiences with its unique blend of art, craftsmanship, and innovation. Developed in collaboration with the HEPHAESTUS project, led by Prof. Marta Gasparin of Copenhagen Business School, the exhibition celebrates artisanship across four ecosystems while exploring how tradition can harmonize with cutting-edge innovation.
The exhibition, supported by Consorzio iNEST and Venice School of Management, has been a resounding success, drawing educators, students, and craft enthusiasts. Visitors have been inspired by the utopian vision on display, and the interactive elements—like QR codes for sharing feedback—have added a participatory dimension.
The closing event: a journey into alternative futures
To celebrate the culmination of this creative journey, the D20 Art Lab and HEPHAESTUS project consortium are hosting a special closing event. This is more than just a goodbye—it’s an opportunity to collectively imagine what could be.
