Park Associati invites Silvia Stella Osella to present the talk "Material, Process, Impact: Regenerative Fashion as Inspiration for Design."

The talk will explore how the fashion industry is evolving beyond sustainability, embracing regenerative design—an approach that integrates bio-inspired materials, circular processes, and innovative design strategies to create a positive impact. Fashion is becoming a laboratory for change, offering valuable insights that extend beyond textiles into architecture, product design, and urban planning.

This conversation will examine how adopting a regenerative mindset in fashion can act as a catalyst for innovation across creative disciplines, shaping a more sustainable and responsible approach to design.

Park Associati presents The Grey Catalogue, a photographic research project by Barbara Rossi.

The exhibition documents the Lilong neighborhoods of Shanghai, historic districts frozen in time behind layers of grey paint and concrete barriers. These once-bustling areas—home to generations of working-class residents—are now ghostly spaces, walled up in preparation for demolition. Through a poetic yet forensic gaze, Rossi transforms photography into an act of memory and resistance, capturing a vanishing cityscape and inviting reflection on urban transformation, political invisibility, and cultural erasure.

Park Associati invites Sex & the City to present the talk "The City from a Gender Perspective"

"What would a feminist city look like?"
The talk will explore the urgency of adopting a gender perspective in urban planning, discussing how cities can become more inclusive and safer for everyone. Through key topics such as the perception of fear in public spaces, the role of women in caregiving activities, and the concept of "gender mainstreaming," the conversation will provide insights into creating cities that reflect the diverse needs of their inhabitants.

Sex & the City is a social promotion association (APS) founded in 2022 by Florencia Andreola and Azzurra Muzzonigro. The organization examines cities through a gendered lens by combining research, theoretical and practical projects, and public initiatives.
