I. ABOUT UNIDEE - University of Ideas

UNIDEE - University of Ideas 
(<http://www.cittadellarte.it/unidee>www.cittadellarte.it/unidee) 
is a multifaceted educational platform 
investigating the relationship between art and 
public sphere, through a new programme of weekly 
residential modules based on interdisciplinary 
research, knowledge sharing and experience 
exchange, alongside a series of artists' 
residency projects.
The programme - developed by Cecilia Guida in 
collaboration with Juan Esteban Sandoval, under 
the general direction of Paolo Naldini - kicked 
off in May 2015, and focuses its first year on 
three broad concepts: temporality, 
responsibility, participation, encompassing art 
history, activism, commons, politics, territorial 
transformation, museology, visual narratives, 
social imagery, relational systems, rituals, 
social cooking, urban space (etc.).

The structure of UNIDEE - University of Ideas is 
articulated through four types of activities 
investigating the relationship between art and 
public sphere:

*	Weekly residential modules taking place 
at Cittadellarte, open to professionals as well 
as the general public, held by mentors who are 
experts on the three broad thematic areas 
(temporality, responsibility, participation) 
chosen for 2015's programme and examined in depth 
from artistic, historical, geographical, 
philosophical, political, economic, 
anthropological, sociological, mediological, 
juridical, architectural points of view
*	Seminar modules taking place at 
Cittadellarte and/or at external partner centres
*	Residency programmes for international artists at Cittadellarte
*	Connective Residency at Cittadellarte.

UNIDEE - University of Ideas is made possible 
thanks to the support of Fondazione Zegna, 
illycaffè S.p.A., Fondo Edo Tempia.
