Much of what surrounds us comes from the forests: Circolo del Design dedicates the first edition of the Earthrise - Design for a Living Planet festival to the relationship between forests and society.
Three days of festivals to open a shared space for discussion and reflection in which interpreters and researchers of design, culture and science contribute to create a transdisciplinary point of view through talks, workshops, urban trekking, screenings, performances and the exhibition May Contain Traces of Forest.
