BacteriArt4 returns to Milano Art Week: Yakult Italia and NABA project

BacteriArt4 returns to Milano Art Week

BacteriArt4, a project by Yakult Italia in collaboration with NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti), makes a return during Milano Art Week with an installation that explores the microbiome and the relationship between art and scientific research. The work continues a conversation between science, aesthetics and public participation, offering an artistic perspective on health-related and microbial ecosystem themes.

The project fits within contemporary art practices that investigate participatory approaches and scientific topics: visual experiences, experimental materials and narratives that help make complex concepts accessible through creative languages.

Why visit

• Interdisciplinary approach: BacteriArt4 blends scientific research with artistic experimentation, prompting reflection on the role of the microbiome in daily life.
• Educational value: suitable for those interested in contemporary art, design, biology and health education.
• Visual and conceptual stimulus: an installation designed to engage visitors with contemporary and multimedia languages.

Practical tips for attending

• Check the Milano Art Week program for exact times and the specific venue: the project may be hosted in temporary exhibition spaces or academic settings.
• Bring an ID copy only if required for participatory activities; unless officially requested, it is typically unnecessary.
• If you are interested in the scientific aspects, look for informational materials or related talks: projects like this often include supporting educational content.
• Visit during less crowded hours to fully appreciate the work and any explanatory materials.

This edition of BacteriArt4 highlights the growing interest in artistic projects that engage with science and public health, showcasing creativity as a tool for communication and awareness.
