“INTERDEPENDENCE – Exploring Opposites”—an international exhibition organized by the Politecnico di Milano’s Design System for Milano Design Week, opens up at Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan.
This year, the theme explores how design interacts with polarities and contrasting dimensions, through a selection of projects by students from Politecnico and from a network of about 40 design universities around the world.
The exhibition will be open from April 5 to April 15.
The grand opening will take place on Saturday, April 5, at 5:00 PM (until 7:00 PM).
On behalf of the entire team of students, faculty, and technicians who have brought the exhibition to life, there will be:

The exhibition's opening weekend will be enriched by the performance “Somewhere, Between”, produced by Campo Teatrale for INTERDEPENDENCE and created by Usine Baug in collaboration with Pietro Francesco Pingitore (visual artist) and Matrix (New Media Artist – Interactive Sound & Visuals).
Premiering on Sunday, April 6, it will have 3 replicas at 2:30 PM, 4:00 PM, and 6:00 PM.
