Il centro culturale BASE di Milano compie 10 anni: tutto il programma per i grandi festeggiamenti
BASE, the cultural center in Milan's former Ansaldo industrial complex, celebrates its 10th anniversary on May 23, 2025, with a 16-hour event called FIESTAS. The program runs from noon to 5 a.m. and includes performances, workshops, concerts, installations, and shared practices by artists such as MOMBAO, Stalker Teatro, Klaus, Francesca Grilli, Nazario Graziano, Michele Rizzo, and many others. The event also launches BASE's first summer season, keeping the center open throughout the summer months.
This anniversary matters because BASE has become a key cultural reference point in Milan, transforming an ex-factory into a permeable cultural infrastructure that blends coworking, residencies, performing arts, club culture, social design, and participatory practices. The FIESTAS event, inspired by philosopher Silvia Federici's idea of celebration as a space for building solidarity and relationships, underscores BASE's ongoing commitment to collective, experimental, and community-driven cultural production in a city that has rapidly internationalized through design, fashion, and real estate.
