FigurArsi contest for teenage creatives on solidarity gestures

The FigurArsi contest, organized by Fondazione di Comunità Milano with Fondazione Milano Scuole Civiche and Afol Metropolitana, invites teenagers aged 16 to 18 to interpret 'Gesti di Solidarietà' through photography, figurative arts, or videomaking. Participants must be residents of Milan or 56 municipalities in the South West, South East, and Adda Martesana areas. Professionals including photographer Francesca Todde, actor Germano Lanzoni, and street artist Pao will mentor finalists. Nine finalists will be selected by a commission from Civica Scuola di Cinema Luchino Visconti, MUFOCO, and Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. Three winners (one per category) will receive up to €3,000 each for future studies and a workshop by April 30, 2025, with support from Afol Metropolitana. Winners will be featured at a public event by May 2022. Deadline: February 20.
