While the first part of the Visual Communication module focused on traditional graphic design for exhibitions, the second part involved the students in a special project titled POEMS OF TRANSITION. The project has been developed in parallel with the exhibition L’Offesa at ar/ge kunst, curated by Francesca Verga and Zasha Colah, and to the exhibition Poesie e no at Museion, curated by Frida Carazzato. On the occasion of the two exhibitions, seven communication projects were developed during the workshop to interpret themes present in the work of Lucia Marcucci and the ’70s Group through a contemporary perspective. Seven groups of students each elaborated a POEM that expresses their most urgent reflections. The POEMS have been translated into site-specific installations in Bolzano and documented through seven booklets together with the website poemsoftransition.eu.
