CREATIVITY FOR CHRISTMAS
CHRISTMAS DESIGN IS THE FIRST WIDESPREAD EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO CREATIVITY AND ARTISTIC INSTALLATIONS
to take place in the most iconic piazzas and places of interest in Bergamo. During the Christmas holidays, the city will be enlivened with a so-far unseen formula, aimed at Italian and international audiences. Christmas Design gives the opportunity to companies and designers to express themselves and create value, making themselves known to the public and the media through site-specific installations in the most prestigious parts of Bergamo.
2024 Edition
METAMORPHOSIS
AND TRANSFORMATIONS
The chosen theme for 2024 is "Metamorphosis and Transformations." In the year that marks the centenary of the death of the Bohemian writer Franz Kafka (1883-1924), the theme of his most famous story, "The Metamorphosis," provides an opportunity for reflection to address the focus of change. This is a matter of profound relevance.
Metamorphosis signifies rebirth, growth, transformation, evolution, adaptation to a new reality, response to new natural and social challenges, new habits, new cities. The historical moment urges us to invent new solutions to tackle complex changes, new ways to enhance both the individual and the community with a transformation that starts from within.
Companies and designers participating in Christmas Design 2024 are invited to draw inspiration from the theme of Metamorphosis and Transformations, carrying an important message.
