Three Rivers’ Tales: Encounters at the Art-Research Interface
On Friday, the 21st of March, Francesca Berni will chair a seminar curated and organised with Irene Bianchi, Three Rivers’ Tales: Encounters at the Art-Research Interface. The seminar explores water as a connection, transformation, and artistic inquiry medium.
Bringing together art and research, the seminar delves into diverse water imaginaries shaped by distinct environmental narratives. The invited speakers will address different water emergencies through three interconnected stories, intertwining artistic, ethical, and ecological perspectives. From ancient aqueducts to contemporary environmental crises, the discussion will examine water beyond its role as a resource, questioning its presence as material, metaphor, and political change. The event aims to foster dialogue at the intersection of artistic practice and research, proposing water as both a subject and a method of engagement in times of ecological urgency.
🎤 Speakers: Giorgos Sachinis (UrbanDig project), gethan&myles (artists of PALIMPSEST Milanese pilot), Riccardo Tabilio (Kepler-452)
💬 Discussants: Irene Bianchi (DAStU Polimi), Stefano Beghi (Karakorum Teatro), Teresa Di Muccio (DAStU Polimi)
