Leonardo da Vinci: Imagining Futures is a transdisciplinary initiative led by Ingrid Paoletti and Inanna Hamati-Ataya, developed with Marta D’Alessandro and gloknos's partners at the Material Balance Research Group and the Department of Architecture of the Politecnico di Milano.
The project launches in Milan in May 2019 at the start of Leonardo da Vinci's 500th anniversary commemoration, and moves to Cambridge in October 2019, before returning to Milan for its final activities.
Through Leonardo we aim to explore the structures and modalities of social innovation across expert knowledges, and the constitution and diffusion of technical imaginaries of the past and the future.
More information on the project and its events will be available here soon.
