Every day, at the Pediatric Surgery Center in Entebbe, hundreds of children receive free medical care for conditions that, elsewhere, would go untreated.

Here, medicine is interwoven with hospitality: bright wards, play areas, and guesthouses for those who travel from afar.

The goal is both simple and powerful: to give every child the chance to heal, to grow, and to return to playing.

This year as well, we renew our commitment alongside the Pediatric Surgery Center in Entebbe, a hospital created by EMERGENCY and designed by Renzo Piano to provide free and accessible care to children in need — a project we have proudly supported since 2024.

With Area Performance, art continues to stand beside those who heal.

“I wanted my work to remain available to those who wish to know it and study it.”

This is how Sergio Staino described the founding of the Bobo e Dintorni Association (ETS).

In 2019, he gave concrete form to his primary goal: to create a Digital Archive in order to make his artistic production accessible to everyone.

Thanks also to the proceeds from the Area Performance charity auctions during Lucca Comics & Games 2024, this project has taken a significant step forward.

A digital archive that gathers decades of cartoons, illustrations, and reflections on our country, preserving and sharing the cultural memory of an artist who was able to portray his time with a unique perspective.

Because cultural memory lives on when it becomes a shared heritage.
