RISE-LAB

FROM A GOOD CONFISCATED TO THE MAFIA, INTO A SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC REGENERATION PLACE

“Uditore” district, outskirts of Palermo. The building in via F. M. Alias, 20, was a warehouse which later became a property confiscated from the mafia and now is a multipurpose center for social inclusion and cultural regeneration, active at local and international level.

RISE – LAB, Network for Inclusion, Development and Empowerment is the name of the generative incubator of interventions aimed at promoting inclusion and social cohesion, cultural innovation and the active participation of individuals and communities, practicing the culture of the common wellness, meeting point and lifelong learning through artistic expression.

A building confiscated in a neighborhood battered by mafia practices thus becomes a place for vindication and practice of the rights of the community, which makes people with fewer opportunities protagonists, as well as the whole social community.
