"Nud (Nothing) - From common places to community places, through a diffused narrative for the town”, “The last things. Polyphony for Rionero”, “Basilicata calling. People of Tursi”, “We are Here - Celebrating local community recipes and life through public art installations”. These are the final results of the creative residencies in the Lucanian municipalities of Forenza, Rionero in Vulture, Tursi and Stigliano, presented over the weekend for the wrap-up of the "Creative Communities" program in memory of David Sassoli, promoted by the Matera Basilicata 2019 Foundation and Open Design School in partnership with national and European partners.

The Plovdiv 2019 Foundation announces a new open call for project proposals as part of the Legacy Programme of Plovdiv - European Capital of Culture. This is a third open call after the year of the title with the definite purpose to preserve and develop the successful model of the European capital of culture initiative.

The ability to activate communities and leave a mark on the territory were the criteria that led to the selection of the four young creatives within the project "Creative Community. Euro-Mediterranean co-creation residency programme - In memory of David Sassoli" promoted by the Fondazione Matera Basilicata 2019 and Open Design School in partnership with GO! 2025 (Nova Gorica-Gorizia), the European Youth Capital Tirana EYC 2022 and under the patronage of the European Capitals of Culture 2022 Esch (Luxembourg), Kaunas (Lithuania) and Novi Sad (Serbia).

Three years after the first experience, in the official program of Matera European Capital of Culture 2019, Open Sound Festival returns to the National Museum of Matera on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 September, in the setting of the Terrace of Palazzo Lanfranchi, one of the most fascinating places in the city of the Sassi.

More than 70 applications have been submitted for the “Creative Community. Euro-Mediterranean co-creation residency program" launched by Matera Basilicata 2019 Foundation and the Open Design School last June 26, on the occasion of the homage to David Sassoli.
