Profilo biografico
Margo Lengua is a design researcher and Research Fellow at the University of the Republic of San Marino, where she works at the intersection of design, play, digital technologies, and cultural heritage. She holds a PhD in Design from the University of Bologna, where her doctoral research, Digital Play Mediation, investigated how playful approaches can reshape the ways cultural heritage is experienced, interpreted, and mediated through digital environments.
Her research explores play as a research and design approach and a mode of inquiry, with a particular interest in participatory practices, co-design, interaction design, and the relationships between people, technologies, and cultural institutions. Drawing on design research and experimental practices, she investigates how playful experiences can open up alternative forms of engagement, knowledge-making, and cultural participation.
Alongside her academic work, she is Director of the Museo Diffuso di Montescudo–Monte Colombo and co-founder of PARSEC, an independent art space established in Bologna in 2020. Her practice moves between research, education, and cultural projects, bringing together academic inquiry and hands-on experimentation.
