UNIDEE in Residence is an international program open to artists,
professionals, students and graduates of various university faculties
from any country in the world.

UNIDEE offers an experience unlike anything offered in any other
university or academic program: a research-oriented practice that
operates within each discipline and is directed towards theresponsible
transformation of society and the creative activation.

The UNIDEE programs are directed by Michelangelo Pistoletto. The course
in residency include an active participation in meetings and seminars
hold by experts and professors of various humanistic, scientific,
economic, political, artistic and social disciplines.

The residents work individually or in groups to develop ideas and
projects, working along creative lines pertinent to the following
fields: Art, Communication, Ecology, Economics, Education, Work,
Nutrition, Politics, Production, Science, Spirituality.

The work of the UNIDEE residents involves constant interaction with the
offices of Cittadellarte, which put the program of responsible social
transformation into effect through projects developed in conjunction
with public and private institutions, companies, cultural bodies and
economic and production structures.

All the events in the Cittadellarte program - exhibitions, conferences,
performances and workshops - offer further opportunities for the
residents to explore issues and develop ideas.

At the end of the residency, the ideas that have been generated are
presented publicly at the UNIDEE in progress exhibition-event.
