Postponed Terraforma 2020 plants 100 trees

Villa Arconti's sustainable festival resets its sights on 2–4 July 2021 while launching new initiative to neutralise CO2 emissions

Milan’s Terraforma has announced it’s postponing this year’s festival until 2–4 July 2021. Still at the same location, Villa Arconati-FAR, the longtime eco-friendly event has taken the opportunity to launch a new home initiative: a biennial reforestation project. The project follows on from the restoration of Villa Arconati’s Labyrinth, and will see the land that hosts the festival’s campsite planted with around 100 trees, lime, ash and oak among them.

Launched in collaboration with Fondazione Augusto Rancilio and supported by Borotalco and Fondazione Comunitaria Nord Milano, the project was conceived by the Space Caviar research and design studio. It was inspired by the architect Cesare Leonardi’s The Architecture Of Trees, which examines the configurations of the trees according to their shadows, and Joseph Beuys's 7000 Oaks project in Kassel, Germany (1982). Its fundamental aim is to have a positive impact on the festival grounds by helping to neutralise CO2 emissions.

Ticket holders for the 2020 edition can expect an email soon with details about transferring passes.
