Chiara Basilico works in visual design and applied research, specializing in the cultural regeneration of territorial and Alpine contexts. Her educational and professional path explores the intersections between design, contemporary artistic practices, and pedagogy, understood as fundamental tools for reactivating the deep relationship between communities and their places.

Moving away from a nostalgic, stereotyped, or wilderness vision of the mountains, she focuses on the concept of the cultural landscape as a dynamic space for experimentation and anthropic stratification. Through the design of educational devices and participatory installations, she investigates the potential of play and aesthetic experience as keys to decoding the complexity of material and immaterial heritage.

Her research aims at a metasemic re-signification of territories, promoting active preservation that transforms passive enjoyment into a cognitive experience. The goal is to build new imaginaries for inland areas, placing visual education at the center of a process of care, intended as a perceptual reactivation of landscape iconemes and conscious accessibility.

She actively collaborates with universities, public institutions, and a vast network of artists and education professionals.
