Lined up, orderly, ready to be reinvented. The globes of WePlanet suddenly pop up in a place outside of time: in the heart of the Central Station, in mysterious, off-limits basements, over 2000 square meters of halls, one after the other, used in the past as after-work facilities for railroad men. Today, thanks to collaboration with Grandi Stazioni retail, they become the Laboratory where artists are already at work to create the 100 planets to symbolize the world to come.

The project of Weplanet, Gruppo Mondadori and Mediamond – with the support of the City of Milan and the Lombardy Region – which will conclude in Milan with a large open-air exhibition of sustainable installations, is starting to take on form. And color.

The stand-out at the moment is the red of the globe by the architects of Metrogramma, where the continents are covered by a collage of faces, of all the ethnic groups of the world. “A wounded world – says Cecilia Gozzi as she observes her last brushstroke – because the oceans are suffering due to human behavior.” The invasion of plastic, pollution, climate change. But also migrations. “We want to transmit a strong message – says Andrea Bulloni – about the lack of responsibility of a globalized planet.”
