What happens when we start something new? What drives us? Meister Eckhart recommended to “be willing to be a beginner every single morning," while Plato said that “the beginning is the most important part of the work.” Perhaps we are not much aware that the most important moment of the day is when we wake up. How do we start our day? Is it an act or a process? Is there any connection between this event and creative inspiration? Is there any experience in life that we may consider the Big-Bang of our life?

Officina is an Italian word for garage, motor pool, workshop, repair, referring to a concrete, specific, incarnated activity. Officina is a creative workshop dedicated to the deepening of a theme, not through abstract speculations, but experience and reflection stimulated by pieces of art: narrations, poems, paintings, photos, clips from movies and music.

Officina is the opportunity to connect life and art in an inseparable pair, experience authentic dialogue, exchange experiences, share creative expressions and deepen understanding of reality in a climate of openness and friendship.
