SPAZIO NOUR
[italian/farsi for «space of light»]
Spazio Nour is an artistic and cultural project born in Milan in 2014 with the goal to create a place of mediation between the language of contemporary art and the context in which it was being used. We are then talking about not just an atelier d’artiste nor an isolated center with an abstract and vague idea of art. Spazio Nour is an ever-evolving relationship, an experience that places in the heart of the battle the most urgent questions of modern society – immigration, integration, equal dialogue and bridge between cultures.

OUR MISSION
Spazio Nour is a socio-cultural meeting place that listens to the needs of the social system in which it settles. In Spazio Nour the different possible languages of contemporary art are intertwined with social design, in the form of a unique model of urban renewal. The community in which it operates at that moment, is the protagonist and recipient of artistic action; performances, workshops, installations, participatory projects and festivals are intended as artistic experiments and regenerative tools. Our main goal is to develop a behavioural model, allow it to evolve further and apply it in daily life: to offer people a cultural “safe space” where they can meet, and create new, shared spaces that synchronize with the needs of the environment.
OUR VALUES
There is no art without society, and there is no society without art. Spazio Nour is a work of art that evolves continuously, it is able to make real and significant changes in the context in which it operates. Such changes are essential, as there appear to be more and more cracks in our cities, as a result of poor communication and increasing intolerance. The bigger the cracks get, the more the city bleeds. The golden line with which we reattach these fractions, is art. Art has an enormous capacity, and is able to break through the cultural and ethnic walls that are being built in our cities. Spazio Nour is a work of art that evolves continuously, it is able to make real and significant changes in the context in which it operates.
