Triennale Milano Examines Global Inequalities Through Design

The 24th Triennale Milano International Exhibition, "Inequalities," addresses pressing social and political disparities through the lens of design. Open to the public from May 13 to November 9, the exhibition features 28 curators and involves around 350 authors from 73 countries, alongside five Milanese universities. - The exhibition is divided into two main areas: the ground floor focuses on the geopolitics of inequalities, examining new concepts of wealth and poverty in urban settings. The first floor explores the biopolitical implications of social, economic, and gender inequalities, focusing on habits, lifestyles, and life expectancies. - A central piece, "Forme di disuguaglianze" by Federica Fragapane, visually represents data on wealth disparity, environmental impact, and social mobility. - The exhibition includes international contributions from countries like Angola, Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine, addressing global challenges. - "Cities," curated by Nina Bassoli, explores the dialectic between wealth and poverty in urban contexts, while "Milano - Paradossi e opportunità" examines inequalities within Milan. - The Norman Foster Foundation presents projects aimed at combating social and environmental inequalities through design and education, including sustainable housing solutions. "Inequalities" aims to stimulate debate and propose solutions to the urgent issue of global disparities, showcasing how design can address and transform inequalities into opportunities for a more equitable future.
