“With this fifth edition, ReWriters fest expands its horizons and aims to offer society a more intuitive understanding of the concept of social sustainability – says Eugenia Romanelli, creator and artistic director of ReWriters fest -. We do this with the tools that have always characterized this event, namely creativity, culture, art, innovative ventures, individual and collective activism. And also irony, play and fun. We want to tell how to build together cultural change that is essential for the well-being of the planet and the various species that inhabit it, including us: a wonderful adventure, a challenge worth taking and can be a joyful opportunity.”
