Exhibition of textile and contemporary art on the occasion of the 150th anniversary

DE FILO

Exhibition of contemporary textile art

Our spaces host the works of some great exponents of international textile art within the DE FILO exhibition: a path that combines the Italian industrial tradition, the languages of communication and contemporary art to give life to an exploration broad and varied concept of the Linificio universe and the culture of linen.

Industrial environments, once dedicated to winding, thus take on a new life.

The art exhibition develops from site-specific works, designed to interact with the company’s spaces, products and history, tracing a path within a selection of other textile works, carried out in collaboration with Artemorbida and Miniartextil

This unique event falls within a significant year for the entire Bergamo area, that of Bergamo Brescia Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2023, strengthening the relationship between the company and the territory.

The outcomes

The 150 years of activitỳ of a company represent a unique opportunity, a chance to

  • stop and rethink the past and its history, the values to be transmitted first and foremost within the company, as well as externally to stakeholders.
  • project oneself concretely towards the future, involving all the protagonists of the path to come, essential resources to face the challenges of the market.

 

The birthday of the Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale was indeed a moment of celebration and reunion, but also a unique moment of communication capable of building a strong and long-lasting experience.

Art as a means of connection

Art was the key to weaving virtual bridges to discover multiple themes, from faith to culture, getting to know people, stories, experiences and creating new individual and collective memories.
