THE UNEXPECTED AS INFINITE POSSIBILITIES
Pordenone 2027. Città che sorprende offers a kaleidoscopic programme, which develops the unexpected possibilities that culture and artistic languages open up in all areas of life through four main themes. Living in Pordenone in 2027 will mean becoming immersed in a vibrant city, marvelling from dawn to dusk, and being able to frequent previously disused spaces revitalised for public use through cultural initiatives.
4 THEMED CHAPTERS
The culture
You didn’t expect
This is all about the ability to surprise and to break with traditional patterns, offering cultural experiences in unexpected forms. It is a culture that emerges through unconventional artistic expressions, where disciplines intertwine and where technology contributes to the creation of a multiverse of proposals. It is reckless beauty that strikes and leaves its mark.
Not how you expect it
This section is about the method and processes of creation that go beyond traditional methods. It is based on a participatory approach, in which the audience is an active part of the cultural production, co-creating together with the artists. It is a culture that does not follow pre-established patterns, but rather explores new paths, intersecting art and everyday life, and creating unexpected and transformational spaces for dialogue. It is impetuous beauty that affects everyone.
Where you don't expect it
This section invites you to discover art in the most unexpected places, on the outskirts of town, in unused industrial areas, city squares and streets, but also in markets, parks or stations. This approach brings culture closer to those who do not normally seek it out, creating unexpected connections and reducing the gap between different social realities. It is unexpected beauty that opens up to the world and pervades every place.
When you don't expect it
It encapsulates the idea that art, knowledge and creativity can show up in unexpected moments: during the phases of life, showing that each stage has something to offer, but also on ordinary days, through a poem heard at dawn, a night-time performance, a work of art that appears at dusk. It is sudden beauty that inhabits all the phases of life.
