The week will be divided into thematic exhibitions, talks, guided tours and workshops.
The Path of Light, featuring Leo de Carlo with Multiforme lighting, will consist of lighting installations all around the city.
The Path of the Jewel will guide the visitor through a synesthetic path made of jewels and gemstones, building a dialogue between designers from outside Venice and local craftsmen and goldsmiths.
The routes will be available to the public and described through a guide and online map, as well as a paper version, all of which will be found in hotels and tourist offices.
Synaesthesia will be explored in a series of conferences, like “Synesthesia and design. Beyond the visual”, “The color in interior design”, “Synesthesia and soundscapes” and “The color as a strategy in design”, in collaboration with experts, scholars and academic (scientific side), designers and businesses (practical side) and journalists (moderators). Workshops to build upon the theme will be held: “Mechanisms of Creativity”, directed by the coordinator of Design Network North, Terry McStea; “Generative artificial intelligence in the creative journey”, told by Flora Marcella Cusi, Adobe Community Expert, and the sensory laboratory “Synesthetic L(a)unch”, curated by Ivana Carmen Mottola, founder of DesignFood.house and the innovative startup Eating Studio,
