Creative and innovative concepts will develop an interactive exhibition on %E2%80%9Ctraveling with (dis)ability%E2%80%9D with a huge collection of pictures and video collected on several trips around the world on a wheelchair. Students will begin the workshop by experiencing personally travelling with a wheel chair, in Turin and Piemonte. Then, with the help of the faculty will begin the creative process for the exhibition. The non profit organization %E2%80%9CRotellando%E2%80%9D is our main partner.
