First opened in 2017, Tempio became the very first independent multi-disciplinary cultural centre recognised under Italian law, originally an illegal squat rave set up by Tommaso Dapri in an abandoned building that once housed a train factory.

To celebrate its fifth birthday, Tempio will also host an exhibition by Captain Cosmotic as part of the multidisciplinary event with prints, video projections and interactive works, while the event will also feature dance and digital arts programmes.

The event, and Tempio as a whole, is curated by a group of young artists who will provide performing arts workshops across the three days, training courses, and groups working with refugees and ex-inmates.
