Waag event in collaboration with ELLA

ELLA meets WAAG for the second spring/summer edition!
A special Saturday in Bolzano filled with photography, urban illustration, picnics, and dance!
We begin with a talk and a photography workshop led by Giulia Bersani, exploring photography as a form of personal expression.
Starting at 3:00 PM, Piazza Verdi will turn into a collective artwork: artist Sara Quatela will draw directly on the urban ground using colorful chalks—an invitation to let the city bloom.
At 6:00 PM, bring a blanket and something to share—food or drinks—for “ELLA takes care of you”: an open picnic at Parco dei Cappuccini, where you can exchange ideas, dreams, and visions for upcoming autumn events. All in a relaxed atmosphere with music and new connections.
We’ll end the day dancing with a beginner-friendly open swing class by Swing On Südtirol—no experience needed!
