Please send your application before Thursday 02/06/2022 h 18.00 CET to info@accademiaunidee.it
The commission will accept only pdf files. Other formats will not be taken into considerations.
The candidates should develop a personal either collective artistic research or intervention coping with the river. Both the Cervo River in Biella and other rivers and/or streams may be used as case-study, since such fluvial systems embody a dense layering of social, historical, industrial, extractive, colonial, environmental and geological issues. Starting from the fluvial system, the candidates may work on documentation, on performance, on media works, on representational and non-representational media, on stories and narrations, on sound and videos, on socially engaged practices.
To summarize, the call is open to proposals that intend the fluvial system as an infrastructure for an otherwise way of inhabiting future frictions of contemporary times.
