Chekos’s Art Open Studio at Robilant in Milan on July 2
Fondazione Italia Patria della Bellezza presents the first Open Studio of Chekos’s Art, one of three artists selected for ITALIA PAZZA, an open call reimagining the bag as a 'canvas à porter.' The residency is hosted at Robilant (via Vigevano 41, Milan), where on July 2 the studio opens to the public. Francesco Ferreri, known as Chekos’s Art, is a pioneer of stencil in urban art and co-founder of 167B Street, an urban art lab in Lecce’s 167 district. His murals address social contrasts and collective memory, with works in China, Albania, Xiamen, and Tirana. The project culminates in limited-edition artist bags supporting the foundation’s socio-cultural initiatives.
