Walk to Write by Desired Landscapes
An itinerant and immersive workshop, combining writing and editorial design. Starting with a walk around BASE Milano, participants will be guided to observe and record the urban stratifications of the Tortona neighborhood. This will be followed by a handwriting session, an exercise in inner listening and narration of places, culminating in the creation of a collective micro-publication.
Each participant will go home with a mini magazine created during the day.

Independent Types: Writing a Magazine Visually
In an era where independent publishing is increasingly a laboratory for visual and narrative experimentation, typography becomes a key element in defining a magazine's identity. From choosing the right font for the body copy to designing a distinctive logo, every typographic decision contributes to creating a unique reading experience and reinforcing the editorial message.
The "Independent Types" workshop invites publishers, graphic designers, and independent magazine enthusiasts to explore the expressive power of typography applied to the world of magazines. Through practical examples and interactive sessions, participants will learn how to use typefaces to build a coherent visual identity and communicate the soul of their editorial project.
