Description:

The celebration of the 40th anniversary of higher education in the field of design was marked by the presentation of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design of the University of Ljubljana at Milan Design Week (2024). In the given context of BASE Milano’s call on the theme of solidarity and empathy, the presentation of UL ALUO (University of Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts and Design) was framed by an inquiry into the role of water. Water, and its accessibility, is indeed a key factor in establishing the interdependence of social and environmental aspects. Furthermore, the question of water accessibility conditions social morality, determining who is entitled to access and who can manage it, as well as where we allow pollution of water sources and to what extent. In addition to the exhibition, two open-access publications were released: a monograph and the present catalog.
