‘Incontro’, VIDAS’s cultural festival, is set to begin
On Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October, at the Franco Parenti Theatre in Milan, the fifth edition of the event dedicated to ‘Reasonable Utopias’ will take place
On Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October, at the Franco Parenti Theatre in Milan, INCONTRO – the cultural festival organised by VIDAS, which has been supporting the terminally ill and their families since 1982 – returns.
The fifth edition is dedicated to ‘Reasonable Utopias’, such as that of VIDAS’s founders, Giovanna Cavazzoni and Alberto Malliani: to ensure care and dignity even for those who cannot be cured.
The challenges of the present
From 10.30 am until 6 pm, lectures and discussions will explore the challenges of the present day, from artificial intelligence to nurturing relationships. Guests will include neuroscientist Michela Matteoli, philosopher of science Telmo Pievani, psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati, theologian Vito Mancuso and journalist and president of VIDAS, Ferruccio de Bortoli.
Throughout the weekend, visitors will be able to view the photography exhibition *Semplicemente, vita* by Guido Harari and *After/Dopo* by Effetto Larsen, an immersive experience exploring the traces we leave behind for others.
The festival is free, subject to registration.
