Bio
A Creativity Revival is the annual UnConference of the Creativity Pioneers, now in its fourth year. It takes place at BASE Milano from 12 to 16 October 2026, bringing more than 150 Creativity Pioneers from around the world together to learn from one another, share their work and celebrate.
An UnConference is a gathering shaped by its participants: instead of a fixed line-up of experts, workshops and discussions grow from the ideas of the people in the room. On 14 and 15 October, part of the programme opens to the public.
The Creativity Pioneers are cultural and creative organisations from around the world that use creativity to address social challenges, from climate change and youth unemployment to conflict. They are part of the Creativity Pioneers Fund, launched in 2021 by Moleskine Foundation, which invests in, connects and champions these organisations through flexible funding, peer exchange and a global network.
Moleskine Foundation is a non-profit organisation based at BASE Milano, working for Creativity for Social Change: the belief that creativity is not only a gift to humanity but a necessity for rethinking and rebuilding institutions, communities and the world.
