The project "ospitiDONOre" aims to create a meeting point between cultures in the Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery in Bergamo (GAMeC) and to enhance immigrant participation in the museums activities, as public and as active subjects.
A group of immigrant women are lead in a visit in the Gallery and then each one is invited to share the museum significance, choosing a symbolic object representing her tie with the town.
 These objects, together with texts written by the women, will then compose an exhibition which represents their “imaginary museum”.
