Bianca Felicori is a PhD candidate at UCLouvain with a research Fellow (ASP - Aspirant) fellowship of the Fund for Scientific Research-FNRS. Together with Professor Beatrice Lampariello she carries out her research with the aim of demonstrating the confluence of artistic and architectural experimentation born in Europe and America between the 1960s and 1970s. She graduated at the Politecnico di Milano with a thesis on history of architecture dedicated to the intersection of architectural and artistic thought between 1965 and 1976, a topic read in relation to the publications of the critic Germano Celant in the magazine “Casabella”. She has curated exhibitions and cultural programs collaborating with institutions such as Triennale (Milano, Italy) and she wrote for magazines such as “Domus” and “AD”. She recently published the book Forgotten Architecture (Nero Editions 2022).

Lisa Carletta is a Belgian Director and Photographer based in Milan. She completed a Master in Fine Art at Royal College of Art in 2017 where she developed digital work and 3D animation. Recurring themes in her work are often taken from her personal life, in which memories of her own experiences take a central role, revealing common human insecurities and anxieties.  Lisa’s work fabricates a fantasy world where nothing is what it seems.

My name is Laura Wood and I'm an independent illustrator. Originally from a small town in the north of Italy, I studied illustration in the wonderful city of Melbourne, Australia, where I started my illustration career. After a few years of seeking adventures and travelling around the world, I currently live and work in Milan, Italy. I create my art digitally using lots of textured brushes and a fun colour palette. Amongst my favourite things, there is dancing, meeting new people and visiting new places.

Based in Milan, Italy, Emiliano Ponzi’s bold textured illustrations employ repetition, a judicious use of line, strong graphic compositions and the use of conceptual metaphors to define and communicate the concept at hand. His illustrations appear in advertising, magazines, books, newspapers and animation, for clients that include The New York Times, Le Monde, The New Yorker, Louis Vuitton, Moma NY, Cartier, Der Spiegel, Penguin Books, Hyundai, Esquire, and Amnesty International. Italian clients include Armani, Bulgari, Gucci, Martini,  La Repubblica, Feltrinelli, Lavazza, TIM, Pirelli, Ferrari and the Triennale Design Museum. Emiliano has received numerous honors including the Young Guns Award from the New York Art Directors Club and the coveted Gold Cube from The Art Directors Club of New York. He has won multiple medals of honor (gold and silver) from the Society of Illustrators New York, and award recognition from Society of Illustrators  Los Angeles and the 3×3 Magazine Pro show. Awards of excellence have appeared in Print, How International Design Award, Communication Arts Illustration Annuals and American Illustration Annuals. “10×10”, his first monograph (Italian-English edition), was published by Corraini (Italy) in 2011 and sold out of both first and second editions. His first picture book “The Journey of the Penguin” was published in fall 2015 by Penguin Books for it’s 80th anniversary. His second one “ The great New York subway map” will be published by the MOMA of New York next February 2018. He is considered one of the finest illustrators of his generation.
