AGO Fabbriche Culturali is Modena’s cultural hub established thanks to the collaboration between Fondazione di Modena, Comune di Modena and the Università degli studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia.
AGO puts itself forward as a new local and national reference point for activities on the borderline between humanistic and scientific knowledge, spanning different fields: image, learning, experience, science and technology, and digital humanities. The numerous initiatives share the innovative approach adopted by AGO, centred around research and dialogue between analogue and digital, thanks also to a partnership that, in addition to the Centro interdipartimentale di ricerca sulle Digital Humanities dell’Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia (DHMoRe), also includes Future Education Modena and Fondazione Modena Arti Visive.
The project is based in the former Sant’Agostino hospital, which is undergoing major redevelopment work that will restore the monumental complex to the city in its new guise as a “cultural factory”.
