RSS- Open call for participation: "The Shifting Place. Aesthetic, spatial and temporal fractures of transitional territories" - deadline: 29th April 2016

The concept of “locality” that the project Understanding Territorialities addresses, is that of a “territory we feel most emotionally connected to”, which is “often exploited by Eurosceptic and nationalist arguments but often neglected as a subject for discussion by Europhiles". At the same time, the feeling of getting “lost” or equally of feeling “at home everywhere” by living without borders, it's forcely or voluntarly a shared transterritorial condition, in which the renewed and widespread attention to the "local", both as a place that gives life and as identitarian originarian place, makes of the locality and localness a battleground.

10 artists and professionals from different fields, related to the investigation on concepts and forms of locality in rural and urban field, and current related ideas and statements such as "nature", "permaculture" and "resilience", in both their engaging and controversial aspects, will be selected via open call to participate to The Shifting Place. Aesthetic, spatial and temporal fractures of transitional territories.
