TILT is an experimental laboratory focused on collective social intervention, active in L’Aquila, Italy.
After the earthquake of April 6 2009, during 3 years the city has been the arena of a huge mediatic coverage and the political abuse of an indifferent government.

The old city of L’Aquila is today a ghost town, a waste land where social life has been erased, while its inhabitants have been moved in the”new towns” erected outside the old center (according to the so called “Piano case” initiated by the government after the earthquake).

TILT works with the territory, subject and tool of its experimental process of creation and action. TILT is a collective mind which approaches with critical creativity the challenges provided by the context. TILT is a laboratory, where the ideas of every single component are developed by the whole group.

TILT develops projects focused on the social space and for the social space. The method of the laboratory is a process of research on both its context and different possibilities of creation and production. TILT does not focus on specific media of production, but rather uses any media to reach its goals.

TILT started inside the Accadema Belle Arti L’Aquila and is carried on by artists, students, researchers and professors whose activities move around the Academy.
