Roadmap
A Europe-wide network of events
The establishment of cooperative action with other UNESCO Creative Cities is of particular strategic importance, with a view to promoting formats, events and initiatives focused on creativity, and establishing a Europe-wide network of events.
In line with this strategy, on October 12th, 2024, and in conjunction with the Day of the Contemporary, the Municipality of Como, in collaboration with Fondazione Alessandro Volta organised the event “CreativeMakers from Sweden to Como”, to promote the exchange of ideas between those from Sweden and those from Como, and strengthen international relations by encouraging collaboration, ideas and projects between young creative people.
The event was divided into several parts relating to creativity in the fields of textiles, music, literature and gastronomy. There was collaboration with the young creative Swedish people and a number of actors involved in the governance of Como UNESCO Creative City, Trade Associations, and Cometa Formazione and Setificio – Isis Paolo Carcano. The events took place at the Pinacoteca Civica di Como, which hosted the exhibition “Voices from the Nordic Landscape” on the Swedish artists Britta Marakatt-Labba and Lars Lerin. The exhibition, curated by architects Davide Adamo and Marina Botta, explored the identity and fragility of the Nordic landscapes
