The practice Of Impermanence
An itinerant blank room governed by the Law of Impermanence. Rong Place is an immersive participatory art project with the aim of educating for conscious consumption of contents: objects, people, concepts.
We apply the policy of “making space” to the sensory experience by designing practices at the crossroad between art, science and technology.
We let ourselves be inspired by the creative potential of emptiness, to fill human gaps and recompose fragmented identities. We rehearse the Everyday to highlight the sacredness to our own existence.
Art is not to be consumed, life is to be created. Starting from yourself.
To begin with zero.

to integrate, to merge, to harmonize

The Practice of Making Space
Where creative arts, ecology and social practice meet to foster transformation.
Rooted in years of research across public art, Chinese philosophy, embodied practices and cultural design, Rong Place creates immersive experiences, learning journeys and collaborative projects that invite people to reconnect and imagine new ways of being together.
What we do
EXPERIENCE
Collective Space
Immersive practice formats where art, movement, sound and symbolic representation become tools for connection and learning. Each format is site-responsive, adapting to the identity of a place while cultivating presence, participation and collective imagination.
LEARN
Expressive Space
Dedicated one-to-one journeys that combine symbolic inquiry and language as practices of attention and learning. Each encounter becomes a space for deeper listening, reflection and decision-making.
From Research to Practice
APPROACH
We explore four languages of human expression — Body, Language, Vibration and Symbols — through a relational and participatory approach. Looking beyond the artistic object itself, our approach is rooted in the anthropology of human exchange, exploring rituals, celebrations and shared creative acts as spaces where individual experience and collective life meet.
FRAMEWORK
Three principles guide every project:
I . Active Void - Creating space, noticing the gap, embracing its potential.
II. Attentive Care - Listening with discipline, curiosity and respect for what emerges.
III. Embodied Meaning - Learning to respond, merging in co-creation.
About the founder
Federica Buonsante, PhD
Researcher, Cultural Designer & Arts Facilitator
With a background in Chinese studies and research in public art, embodiment and participatory practice, her work moves between body-based and art-based research — investigating how movement, ritual and shared creative acts shape the way people relate to space, culture and one another. In 2020, she founded Rong Place in Puglia, Italy, as a blank stage-room for exploring participatory art and creative wellbeing during times of uncertainty. Today, her work continues through Studio Rong, bringing these formats to schools and organizations internationally.
