Exhibition White Out
EXHIBITION White Out - The Future of Winter Sports. The term “whiteout” describes an optical effect that occurs at high altitudes when the snow-covered landscape and the sky merge into a single uniform white, causing poor visibility. This extreme condition becomes the starting point for a reflection on the future of winter sports, in dialogue with the world of design. The exhibition explores the relationship between sports, design and innovation with a particular focus on the impact of the ongoing climate crisis. Organized into thematic sections that focus on disciplines, projects, equipment and technologies with emphasis on sports architecture.

The Moment the Snow Melts is curated by Sara Rizzo with the support of 24 ORE Cultura - free to the public through June 28th, 2026, MUDEC – Museo delle Culture, Milan
