for nine months, ENORME studio, together with students of design and fine arts of the university of palermo, has been developing the transformation project of a regular line bus that linked the center of palermo with the beach in mondello. the vehicle becomes a mobile hub that supports the 12th biennial festival manifesta’s initiatives associated with the education program throughout the city.

‘education hub’ is a travelling platform to reach out to and engage with various communities in the neighbourhoods of palermo throughout the duration of the manifesta 12. the project will be set up in a city bus, radically transformed by the students of the university of palermo (laboratorio di disegno industriale 3 led by prof. viviana trapani, department of architecture) and academy of fine arts (graphic design course led by prof. cinzia ferrara) under the guidance of madrid-based architectural bureau ENORME studio.
the hub will travel around the city and will bring manifesta 12 into an active dialogue with the suburbs of palermo through site-specific interventions including, but not limited to, performances, workshops, community events and meetings, open-air screenings, special bus tours and bus-sharing, as well as digital learning projects.
