PIANTALA – Te lo dice una pianta

Their presence is never too overwhelming. And, unlike us humans, they don’t destroy environments, they regenerate them. For three days at BASE, we’ll talk about (and with) plants. Piantala – Te lo dice una pianta is the new experiential shopping format that brings a wave of greenery to cities, focusing on accessibility and awareness. Over 10,000 plants from more than […]

Go to agenda

BASE Milano is a hybrid cultural center serving the city.
Not a museum, not a theater, not just a gathering space or a restaurant, not a traditional coworking space, not simply a place to dance. We are all these things at once—and much more.

Highlights

Performing Architecture

New ways of thinking together to reshape the city: Performing Architecture is a widespread festival that weaves together architecture and the performing arts to transform urban space alongside its inhabitants. Want to know more? Come dive deeper.

Annamaria Ajmone’s Performance

milano art week
performing architecture

3 Apr
H18:30 Giardino Gianfranco Bianchi

Annamaria Ajmone’s performance for and with “Arena Stadera” unfolds and takes shape in real time. The space remains untouched, yet it triggers the dance—an ever-evolving composition born from the immediate encounter between its active elements: architectural structures, movement, and the posture of the audience. The choreography follows no pre-written script, tasks, or guidelines. Instead, it builds itself in the moment, […]

TALkins W/ Andrea d’Amore: SUPER CAPSULA

talkins

4 Apr
H18:30 La Capsula

Andrea d’Amore explores conviviality and food as artistic practices, transforming each space into an opportunity for cohabitation and interdependence between human and non-human beings. In his work, the act of feeding becomes an aesthetic and relational act, in line with the Making Kin theme, where food is a medium of connection and a tool for rethinking forms of collective care. […]

H12:00 Terzo Paesaggio / Padiglione Chiaravalle

One container for bread-making, another exploring the alchemy of fermented cuisine. And a picnic table, built and carried by eight guests, designed to host feasts and communal dinners. Macchine da Festa is a project by the architecture duo Lemonot and artist Luca Boffi, conceived together with the people who bring Padiglione Chiaravalle (Terzo Paesaggio) to life every day. These “party […]

With All My Strength by Martina Rota activates Matilde Cassani’s installation Another Week

performing architecture

6 Apr
H18:30 Ground Hall

What lies behind a hypertrophic, monumental body? What are its vulnerabilities? What are its obsessions? What questions drive these bodies? What stereotypes do they conceal? With All My Strength is a research project by Martina Rota that, through the practice of bodybuilding posing, explores contemporary masculinity, body-related obsessions, and the construction of a synthetic identity. The performance—staged as a site-specific […]

We Will Design 2025: Making Kin

design week

The goal? To build […]

Atmospheric Instability: Caterina Gobbi’s Performance Curated by Campo Base Project

9 Apr
H21:00 DOPO?

The performance conceived by Caterina Gobbi for DOPO? creates a sonic environment where the wind takes center stage. The wind becomes a language, a shared means of communication between species and ecosystems. It is deeply tied to history, deities, and the psyche; scientific studies have shown that it can alter serotonin levels, influencing mood states. At the same time, the […]

Tama Sumo b2b Lakuti (All Night Long)

Actress + Brillante

dj-set

12 — 13 Apr Ground Hall

Two iconic artists, one booth, a night of unfiltered musical energy. Actress is a name that rewrote the rules of electronic music. Visionary, enigmatic, and impossible to pin down, the British artist is a pioneer of abstract sound—blending techno, ambient, and glitch into a universe of his own. His releases on Ninja Tune and Honest Jon’s have reshaped the boundaries […]
