illywords weaves new friendships

When we at illywords talked about the theme “Weaving Relations” in 2002, we also started considering the concept of “value of a relationship”. I believe that we anticipated at that time a topic that has then become very hot, especially after the social networks´ boom.

By relationship I also mean friendship and here I come up with a question: “are the hundreds of people that we regularly meet on Facebook, who we wish a good weekend to, to be considered real friends or should we call friends only those relationships that last over the years, whom we grow up with?” Here I venture to say that relationship is every kind of human relationship: it may be with your son, with your client, with your colleague or your wife. It may occure in the physical or in the virtual world.

Illywords weaves relations with you every day and investigates the discovery of  the “other” stimulating a mutual exchange. From this month on, in addition to the regular lively work of our editorial team, we will have one more friend, Irina Zucca, who will be writing from Milan, one of the most active and important centres of cultural activities in Italy and at international level.

Moreover, we will be following through a daily novel chronicle the “Festival dell´Arte Contemporanea” (Contemporary Art Festival) of Faenza from May 20 to 22 highlighting over 120 leading figures of international art and creativity, more than 50 events and as many side events, for its fourth edition titled “Forms of collecting”.

Together with Cyou, a community of over 500 festival´s volunteers, illywords will gather and tell you stories about faces, ideas and words of the festival through interviews and insights realised during the three days event.

Follow us weaving relations!
