Making Venice a new societal model at the heart of the Living

To bequeath a revitalized society to our children and to inspire other cities around the world.
Why Venice?
Because water is the source of Life
Because Venice has been a pioneer in all areas many times and it is universal!

“ Never doubt that a small number of willing and thoughtful citizens can change the world; in fact, it always happens that way. » Margaret Mead

Venice, pilot city of a future Eden

In an increasingly degraded international context, many people understand that it is time to undertake systemic change and reinvent a more harmonious world. SUMus has chosen Venice as the “laboratory of the future” to initiate this movement of renewal around the Living , this regeneration necessary to repair the damage caused by our current lifestyles and to propose a new ideal of life that new generations expect.

Sumus WoMen

Sumus WoMen regenerative movement around a manifesto on the occasion of the Mille Donne di Venezia and WOW (Women of the World) exhibition.

Why Women? Because they give Life, today they are the ones who can bring about a new dynamic to cure humanity of its excesses.

For many, Venice is a woman, she carries within herself the power of the feminine which must awaken throughout the world to allow the emergence of a peaceful, joyful and sustainable society. Many Venetian women were historically global pioneers in their time. This is why SUMus decided to honor these historic Venetian women, as well as the women living in Venice today who carry this essential feminine heritage. This tribute will be paid through an artistic exhibition which will open on November 20, 2023 at Campo San Lorenzo.

The artist Pierre Maraval , known for his viral works, took photos, from May 2023 to September 2023 , of Venetian women who wish to contribute to creating a better world for future generations and who recognize themselves in the theme of the exhibition “ We Care, We Dare” .
