Apertura al grande campo dell’alterazione sensibile, nel segno della fedeltà alla propria identità, costituitasi nel tempo come fusione artistica con l’essere sociale in condizione di fragilità, sofferenza e marginalità e, nello stesso tempo, orientata a incorporare nei propri processi progettuali e comunicativi la crescente accessibilità consentita dalle innovazioni tecnologiche, come dimostrato dall’installazione nelle sale di Lenz di un sistema di amplificazione ad induzione magnetica per favorire la fruizione alle persone ipoudenti. Apertura come spirito di scambio intellettuale ed esperienziale, che si concretizza in collaborazioni su più livelli con realtà culturali attive sul territorio, quali ParmaFrontiere, Associazione Micro Macro | Insolito Festival e Associazione Segnali di Vita | The Sound of Mourning.
