Zero factory, multidisciplinary research centre, audiovisual post-production and artistic residency.

After many years dedicated to developing artistic and cultural projects in Italy and abroad, Grad zero set up Zero factory, a creative residency on a rural estate a few km from Lecce. In a completely natural setting, with a sensory park and a theatre made only of recycled logs, amidst trees of all kinds, olive groves, almond groves and organically managed vineyards, the residence hosts international artists, operators and cultural travellers, also organising film and theatre festivals, exhibitions, concerts, workshops, seminars, conferences and sensory itineraries in the region. The factory also houses the operational base of the Liquid Archive of Identity, dedicated to the organisation and promotion of a system of knowledge of territories and their identities, through the development of creative experiential paths and processes. Zero factory can host artists, scholars and cultural travellers by offering a stay instrumental to study, production work and travel in the territory. The artistic residence is equipped with double rooms for accommodation and an audiovisual post production studio ideal for developing multidisciplinary and creative communication projects with concentration. Camping in the park is also possible. We offer the public and Italian and foreign cultural operators a meeting place where they can explore art in its various forms (also in a not too formal dimension) exchange experiences and work in a magical and cosy environment with strong Salento connotations.
