On June 11, Milan will host the second Milan edition of FABRICA FEMINA ⌈The Milan Salon⌉, a project conceived and produced by French artist and composer Cleo T. Taking place at OPOS, the event will unfold as a full day dedicated to artistic experimentation, connection, and collective creation.

Conceived as a meeting ground for performative practices, sound research, language, and community, the event will bring together artists, musicians, performers, researchers, and cultural professionals through participatory workshops, open conversations, informal networking moments, and an immersive final performance.

The programme will begin at 5:00 PM with the workshop Giving Shape to Inspiration: Voice, Body and Instrument in Dialogue, exploring voice, movement, and collective improvisation as a shared space for artistic experience.

The workshop will be led by Cleo T. and Marta Del Grandi, with contributions from guests working across the fields of music and performance. Free of charge upon registration, the workshop is intended for people working within the creative industries.

At 7:00 PM, an open group talk will take place in collaboration with Equaly, moderated by Josie Cipolletta (co-founder of Equaly) and Cleo T. The conversation will bring together voices from the worlds of music, culture, and contemporary arts.

At 8:30 PM, the programme will continue with a community gathering and aperitivo, open to the public and designed to foster connections between local artistic communities, collectives, cultural organisations, writers, performers, and cultural professionals.

The evening will culminate with Sound Ritual, conceived and led by Cleo T., featuring a group of participating artists. A site-specific, immersive and ephemeral collective performance, Sound Ritual unfolds through sonic improvisation, performative presence, and visual installation.
