From 23 May to 15 June,  SPRINT transforms the octagonal structure at the center of Lancetti Railway Station [passante], into a research pavilion, a meeting place and a printing laboratory to investigate the city of Milan through the voice of local visionary realities.

Immersed in an astonishing post-modern limbo, designed in 1997 by architect Laura Lazzari, the kiosk made of metal and glass was born as a newsstand that never took off and now an exhibition venue of the non-profit association spazioSERRA.

Using the eco-friendly Japanese Risograph technique, which combines the speed of photocopying with the result of screen printing, with the unique soy-based inks and banana plant-derived matrices, a small publication will be designed and printed in real time on Gmund Hanf paper, produced with advanced techniques from european hemp.

An underground OSSERVATORIO - observed from outside by the large windows - to bring to the surface desires and idiosyncrasies of a territory, through a zine that will collect conversations, anecdotes, a visual biography, insights and a constellation of graphic elements sifted from various areas of the city.

With contributions by: Nathalie Du Pasquier; Rahel Sereke & Dafne Boggeri; Sonia Garcia & Marvin Gabriele Nwachukwu; Lucia Tozzi & Nina Bassoli; Giancarlo Ascari & Matteo Guarnaccia; CambieRai & Ale Cane.

​

Behind the pavilion, a 3 x 6 m billboard by Erratic will dive us on wider geographical coordinates, in support of the network Mediterranea – Saving Humans.
