Porto Design Biennale 2019

The Territorio Italia program includes three exhibitions and a set of collateral events that establish a dialogue and a relationship between design, culture and territory, seen as a geographical, material, social and human fabric. It opens on 19 September with the exhibition Frontiere: Expressions of Contemporary Design (until 8 December 2019 at Palacio Das Artes - Fundação Da Juventude); followed by the openings of the two exhibitions Riccardo Dalisi: Perfect Imperfection (until 24 November 2019 at Museu Da Misericórdia) and Abitare Italia: Icons of Italian Design (until 8 December 2019 at Palacio Das Artes - Fundação Da Juventude).

The Italian territory, in this context, becomes a critical and interactive backdrop, revealing its fragility, its condition as a delicate territory awaiting resolution. From the folds of this fragility and the cultural wealth that is generated by this condition of openness to the world, Territorio Italia reacts, creates and continues to look to the future, without forgetting the past.

Here is the program of the opening week.
