FARM Beyond Borders
FARM began in a small town in Sicily with a radical belief: culture can change places, communities and people’s lives.
Today, that vision travels. Across towns, cities and landscapes, FARM works with communities and institutions to reactivate forgotten places and create new centers for culture, education and social innovation.
What began in Favara does not belong to one place. It is an open possibility for the world.
FARM è nata in una piccola città della Sicilia da una convinzione radicale: la cultura può cambiare i luoghi, le comunità e la vita delle persone.
Oggi questa visione viaggia. Tra borghi, città e paesaggi, FARM collabora con comunità e istituzioni per riattivare luoghi dimenticati e creare nuovi centri di cultura, educazione e innovazione sociale.
Ciò che è cominciato a Favara non appartiene a un solo luogo. È una possibilità aperta al mondo.
ONE VISION. MANY PLACES. COUNTLESS POSSIBILITIES.
From small towns in Sicily to rural communities in northern Italy, FARM works with people and places to activate new cultural possibilities.Through art, education and collective action, forgotten buildings, unfinished spaces and overlooked landscapes become places of encounter, imagination and change.
Dai piccoli centri siciliani alle comunità rurali del Nord Italia, FARM lavora con persone e territori per attivare nuove possibilità culturali. Attraverso l’arte, l’educazione e l’azione collettiva, edifici dimenticati, spazi incompiuti e paesaggi trascurati diventano luoghi di incontro, immaginazione e cambiamento.
A GROWING GEOGRAPHY OF CHANGE
Every place adds a new story to an evolving network of communities using culture to imagine and build a different future.

The world is next
The challenges facing our cities cross every border: abandoned places, shrinking communities, educational inequality, social fragmentation and the urgent need to imagine new futures.
FARM is ready to work with municipalities, universities, foundations, businesses and active communities anywhere in the world.
Not to replicate Favara, but to create something new: rooted in the identity of each place and connected to an international network of people, knowledge and possibilities.
Le sfide delle nostre città attraversano ogni confine: luoghi abbandonati, comunità che si riducono, disuguaglianze educative, frammentazione sociale e l’urgenza di immaginare nuovi futuri.
FARM è pronta a lavorare con comuni, università, fondazioni, imprese e comunità attive in ogni parte del mondo.
Non per replicare Favara, ma per creare qualcosa di nuovo: radicato nell’identità di ogni luogo e connesso a una rete internazionale di persone, conoscenze e possibilità.
