Fondazione Sandretto's Education Department on Pandemic Adaptations

Elena Stradiotto, who leads educational initiatives at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin, reflects on the museum's activities amid the pandemic. The foundation resumed operations in May 2020, offering both in-person and virtual experiences. One notable project, VIE DI USCITA, created in collaboration with Associazione “è” for individuals with aphasia, featured weekly online sessions and a July workshop inspired by Maria Lai's Legarsi alla montagna. In the fall of 2020, the museum hosted a weekend focused on accessibility, showcasing L’identità e il suo Doppio, which included performances and workshops. The 2020/2021 Easy Pieces program provided online meetings related to the exhibition Space Oddity, developed during lockdown, while training for teachers involved experts like Gianluca De Serio. Stradiotto emphasizes the ongoing uncertainty faced by Turin's museum education sector due to the pandemic.
