The Center for Creativity invites you to the presentation of the Slovenian exhibition House of Creatures, which will be part of this year’s Milan Design Week. The exhibition is curated by an international interdisciplinary group (Ryan Barriball, Sera Eravci, Urša Gantar, Tine Tribušon, Gašper Uršič, Vid Žnidaršič), selected through a public call for the national presentation of contemporary Slovenian design.

The House of Creatures project understands contemporary design as a living ecosystem of relationships between objects, spaces, bodies and imagination. The exhibition will be presented in April within the framework of the Alcova platform in Milan, at exceptional locations, some of which will be open to the public for the first time this year. The Center for Creativity will also organize a group visit to the exhibition in Milan with free bus transportation.

At the event, we will present the curatorial concept, exhibition highlights and the program of the Slovenian presentation in Milan, followed by a conversation with the curatorial team and participating designers.
