Artists are invited to develop their projects on-site, focusing on artistic creation and urban revitalization. The invitation is extended to architects, makers, and artisans who are required to submit design proposals. Located at Caos (Centro Arti Opificio Siri), the festival's primary venue, the projects must engage the community, prioritize safety, and utilize biodegradable materials.
