Puglia Contemporary Land is a project promoted by Puglia Region and Pugliapromozione, Regional Tourism Board, and curated by Cristiano Seganfreddo to showcase the contemporary richness of a territory where the past constantly engages with the present, creating an intricate blend of tradition and innovation. This initiative, presented at Alvoca Miami, captures the complexity of the Apulian landscape, exploring the intersections of design, artisanal craftsmanship, material research, and art.

Puglia is a land of deep roots, where artisanal culture merges with artistic expression and material experimentation, giving rise to unique works. Local artists, designers, and artisans reinterpret traditions through innovative techniques and materials, contributing to a creative renaissance deeply anchored in the region’s identity.

In this context, Puglia Contemporary Land, also the first issue of an internationally distributed magazine, serves as a dynamic platform where the valorization of local resources meets international engagement, building a bridge between Puglian cultural roots and the global scene. Each piece exhibited bears witness to a territory in constant evolution—a mosaic that unites stories, knowledge, and visions, transforming tradition into a form of contemporary art and giving voice to a vibrant and inimitable cultural identity.

Puglia Contemporary Land is an immersive journey curated by Cristiano Seganfreddo for the Puglia Region and the Regional Tourism Board, showcasing the excellence of Puglian craftsmanship and cutting-edge design, intersecting with art and experimentation.
