Schools have been among the first institutions to adapt to the new measures of quarantine. What are the pros and cons of online classes?
IED offered us remote lessons and many extra-curricular hints, as well as its huge digital library. In this sense, the lockdown has been a happy revelation. On the other side, the learning became fast, but not less smart. Yet, all the process seems depleted by the lack of human interaction, that more than the rest represents growth: it is like the presence of the other and the confrontation are the fundamental assumption to experience what you learn, and so who you have become.
The Fashion and Design Industries have been aggressively afflicted by the COVID-19 emergency. As a consumer, but also as a future insider of those systems, what will be the worst consequences of this crisis?
I think that the worst consequences will be economical and related to the disappearance of the smallest industries, as well as the consumption of the entire industrial system that will keep on drying the process that should support a diversified economy, granting job opportunities and occupation to many people. From a creative point of view, I think that difficulties are occasions: first of all, how to find new ways to re-activate the market.
Your work is built on creativity. Where do you find your inspiration in this moment?
Just let yourself go into your own imagination.
