Why
The creation of the Community Digital Archive originates from a consolidated methodology that our theatre company has developed in the last nine years, focused on the realization of cultural projects that deeply involve and interact with the citizens of Pilastro, neighbourhood in Bologna where theatre DOM is based.
On July 2016 Pilastro has celebrated his 50th birthday and Laminarie decided to create an Archive to tells the story of this neighborhood dedicated to Pilastro citizens and to the enhancement of their stories.

How it went
Main lessons learned
The creation of Community Digital Archive brought people who lives in Pilastro neighborhood to cross the line from past to future to built the history of this place.
We were very glad to have the opportunity to get in touch audience with the stories of the Pilastro habitants.
Inspiration
Laminaries have been called to create a Digital Community Archive, collecting photographic and video documentation that citizens and the Associations rooted in Pilastro have decided to make available. It’s not just about collecting narratives and historical testimonies of the district, but also thinking about the future of Pilastro, involving artists and children in this relationship in an imaginative approach that has been already tested by Laminarie through projects and programs proposed at DOM.

Community Digital Archive
Laminarie has collected many documents that aim to narrate fragments of Pilastro history through people’s stories and personal memories. Indeed, thanks to a process of direct involvement of citizens, it was possible to match people’s stories with the urban and social changes of Pilastro. The collection presented is divided into six sections:
Foundation, Recreation, Education, Culture, NOW!, Tomorrow.
