Laboratorio Zanzara is an educational service, a craft store, and a graphic design and communication agency. It is a social cooperative (nonprofit) founded in Turin as an integration project for people with mental distress. The basis of the project is the enhancement of the individual and his or her skills and aptitudes with the aim of carrying out work activities whose results can be qualitatively appreciated, exhibited and marketed.
This process enables people to confront and integrate with the outside world making them an active part of society. The daily collaboration between different professionals that make up the team (educators and professionals in the field of visual communication, design and art) allows to gather the multiple expressive and creative possibilities with the aim of proposing a new language capable of breaking down cultural barriers.
