Tutto questo Niente
An event by Paranoia Festival in collaboration with OGR Torino
Saturday 14 November 2026 | from 10 AM
OGR Torino, Duomo
On 14 November, Paranoia Festival brings to OGR Torino a day of talks, screenings and workshops dedicated to mental wellbeing. Writers, psychologists, artists and institutions come together to explore vulnerability, expectations and relationships.
After Bergamo and Milan, Turin marks the final stop of Tutto questo Niente (“All this Nothing”), the festival’s 2026 programme exploring the pressure of judgement and the gap between who we are and how we appear. Taking place on 13 and 14 November at Bunker and OGR Torino, the festival brings together different forms of expression and shared experiences to encourage conversations about mental wellbeing and challenge stigma.
At OGR Torino, the programme explores generational perspectives on vulnerability, the pursuit of exceptionality, the value of writing, and the challenges of contemporary relationships. Alongside the talks, two workshops invite participants to look into their emotions through handwriting and drawing. The day closes with a discussion on how institutions and culture can help make psychological wellbeing a shared priority.
Event attendees will enjoy free admission to the current exhibitions at OGR Torino.
