🏢 About the local organisation
The ”Cavallerizza Reale” in Turin is an historical, long time neglected baroque complex part of the royal buildings in the heart of the city, recognized in 1997 as Unesco world heritage. In 2014 a group of citizens occupied it in order to avoid its privatization. The aim was transforming it in an open space for artistic and socio-cultural experimentation. It spontaneously generated an open and self-organized community producing cultural activities with free access and promoting citizens active inclusion in the self-government of public goods. The workcamp is linked to the Festival TO(rino) BE Different promoted by the Art and Creativity Movement foreseenig three days of theatre and dance performance, film screening, experiential workshops, on experimental paths of social inclusion.
