Ouvert is a place where to discover what is happening in the world and to get to know the characters who are shaping the contemporary cultural landscape. You will have a chance to create your own network to collaborate with in the near future and the opportunity to publish and share your researches with the rest of the world, creating, at the same time, a solid portfolio thanks to our support. You will also have continuous tutoring from the founders, who will give you advice and help you in your professional and personal growth process.
