Cristina Chiappini, one of our Italian faculty members, spoke again to the Workshop participants about her social and cultural design work, ranging from feminism and genital mutilation to endangered species. The highlight of an insightful morning was the survey her teaching assignments at La Sapienza, the Workshop's host in Rome, in interactive handheld applications, including a program that integrates MAXXI museum goers into its advertising campaign.
