Sala Dogana. New ideas in movement
The space for young people at the Palazzo Ducale was created to deal with and work in a stable manner on the emerging cultural production, conceived as a place for experimentation, innovation and the development of new trends and creativity of the young, to promote positive forms of participation through realization of projects for the expression of creativity, the development of skills and talents of young people, encouraging at the same time, the exchange of experiences and networking.
DOGANA is a centre, an energetic and dynamic reality open to any aesthetic language that the Municipality of Genoa with the Palazzo Ducale Foundation for Culture and, following a recent agreement, the Ligustica Academy of Fine Arts of Genoa and the University of Genoa provide young people and artistic forces of the city, for new cultural productions, for experimentation and presentation of new ideas. It is a multidisciplinary space, and a tool for social cohesion that allows a 'daily work', in which collide different ways of thinking and interpreting the art and artistic forces also profoundly different.
It is available to those who want to develop their own ideas, an area of real and active work, a showcase for new artistic realities, a vehicle to get its voice to many and to be known, a real construction site that lives, and it develops, where every single individual grows and evolves through confrontation.
If you want to implement a service for the area, to make the large amount of artists and creators which transit or reside, to realize workshops open to the public, meetings, backstage conversations, transversal projects and encounter between the different cultures of entertainment, creations that tend to the mixture and contamination of more expressive languages.
