AMANO CORPUS ANIMAE

From November 13th, 2024, until March 1st, 2025, Fabbrica del Vapore will showcase “Amano Corpus Animae” – an immersive exhibition curated by Fabio Viola that celebrates the work of Yoshitaka Amano. Known for iconic projects like “Sandman” and “Final Fantasy”, Amano’s art will be presented alongside open events that explore the intersection of art, design, and transmedia. “Amano Corpus Animae” is an initiative by Lucca Comics & Games. POLI.design is in charge of designing the exhibition set. In addition, we manage and promote a set of activities, including workshops, talks, and design challenges that will involve leading experts from various fields. Service design, product design, illustration, storytelling, communication, sustainable fashion, gaming, graphics: different approaches, languages and tools will face current challenges. Emerging artists, students, and creatives will have the opportunity to be involved in these initiatives. The program stems from the belief that design and the visual arts can drive meaningful change.

From November 13 until March 1, 2025, Fabbrica del Vapore will host “Amano Corpus Animae,” an immersive experience in the work of Master Yoshitaka Amano. Curated by Fabio Viola, the exhibition celebrates the works of the illustrator behind “Sandman” and “Final Fantasy,” weaving together art, design, and transmediality. POLI.design has designed the exhibition layout and pathway. Above all, it is the organizer and promoter of engaging educational activities that will take place in the Milan venue in the coming months: a program of workshops, talks, and design challenges covering diverse fields that are increasingly in dialogue with each other. Below is the description of the first workshop and the calendar of events focusing on service design, product design, illustration, storytelling, communication, sustainable fashion, gaming, and graphic design. 

An opportunity to discover the potential of design as a tool for inclusivity: save the date for the second event by POLI.design and Lucca Comics and Games dedicated to the Design Justice movement.

The voices of those on the margins of society serve as the starting point for a creative process aimed at generating solutions that promote equity and accessibility. Through the stand-up style monologue “Formidabili” by Andrea Bellati, we’ll explore the stories of extraordinary individuals who have turned their constraints into distinctive strengths. Following the monologue, a discussion moderated by Alessandro Biamonti (Designer and Professor at Politecnico di Milano) will feature Bellati and Laura Galluzzo (Interior Designer & Professor at Politecnico di Milano) examining the capacity of design to dismantle systemic inequalities and build a fairer world.
