Eleonora Lombardi is a cultural and graphic designer. After training in product design and editorial communication and a master's degree in cultural design at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and POLI.design, he deepened the themes of cultural accessibility and inclusive communication with an advanced course at the National School of Cultural Heritage and Activities. Today he deals with cultural design, fundraising and visual communication, developing cultural, educational and social initiatives aimed at inclusion and participation. At the centre of his interest is the city as a space for relationship, narration and social transformation. Through cultural design, it explores ways to transform places of passage into meeting spaces, fostering connections between people, memories and urban landscapes.

RELAY STORIES, GIVING VOICE TO ARCHIVE PHOTOS

24.10

Workshop curated by Eleonora Lombardi
10:15–11:30 • 15:15–16:30 Villa Ghirlanda Silva Park, Cinisello Balsamo Release stories is an intergenerational workshop that uses archival photography as a narrative device to activate creative writing in children and bring adults closer to the practice of storytelling. Set in the historical park of Villa Ghirlanda Silva in Cinisello Balsamo, the project transforms the historical images of the city, of the Museum of Contemporary Photography, into visual triggers to build a collective story: each parent-child group elaborates a part of the story, with characters, context, action, time — ending in a performative reading. The format weaves graphic-visual tools into play and teaching, so children discover the history of the place and adults recover their imagination and their memories. The aim is to make graphic design and photography accessible to the youngest, and to strengthen the bond between community and cultural heritage, turning the park into a space of relation, memory and collective imagination. The workshop will be held in two shifts: one at 10:15 and the other at 15:15. It will be possible to participate in only one round. Email registrations to eleonoraprogettarecultura@gmail.com
