For the first time in its 32 year history, four artists from different corners of the world, Simone Fattal from Syria, Shirin Neshat from Iran, Monica Bonvicini from Italy and Binta Diaw, a Milanese artist of Senegalese origin have come together to create a collection for illycaffè. Each artist is committed to raise awareness of important human rights topics through the language of contemporary art. The striking designs are not only visually beautiful but are also a way to spark conversations.

”This year our collection of cups tells the stories of artists who, with their unique styles, invite us to reflect on the condition of women worldwide.” as highlighted by Cristina Scocchia, CEO of illycaffè.
The latest collection works in partnership with Association Genesi and its interdisciplinary and inclusive project, Progetto Genesi which champions contemporary art internationally as an ambassador of human rights.
