The exhibition “Collective Practices: A Living Experience of Feeling Listened” by Binta Diaw presents insights into three workshops that took place in Bolzano and Merano between April and October 2021. Binta Diaw, this year’s Artist-in-Residency at Lungomare, translates this collective acts of narrating and listening, sewing, cooking and writing into a multimedia artistic landscape.

The interactions were based on words and phrases taken from Südtirol ABC Sudtirolo, a text by politician and activist Alexander Langer. The texts and audio pieces, as well as the video installation in the exhibition give a multivocal account of people who want to overcome isolation and division and instead imagine the communal life-worlds of the future.

Reading and book presentation

With author Rosalyn D’ Mello

Reading Garden Lungomare invites Rosalyn D’Mello, a feminist writer, art critic, columnist, essayist, editor and researcher who grew up in Mumbai and Delhi and now lives in South Tyrol. Rosalyn D’Mello presents two of her books: “A Handbook for My Lover” and “The Domestic Nomad”.
“A Handbook for My Lover” tells of the six-year, unconventional relationship between a young writer and her older lover, a photographer. The sensual letter documents the woman’s demands and desires, her fantasies and eccentricities, while addressing the complexity of their relationship.

“The Domestic Nomad” is an artist’s book published by Eau & Gaz in Eppan and traces Rosalyn D’Mello’s travels through Italy during her 2018 artist residency.

Following the reading, a food tasting will continue the journey between India and South Tyrol, a recipe by Rosalyn D’Mello cooked together with the Lungomare team.

Free entry // Access only with Green Pass
The number of participants in the reading is limited to 25 people, registration is required by sending an email to office@lungomare.org

The Lungomare garden becomes a place for reading. The Lungomare team together with friends and project partners have selected books that reflect current themes of the cultural association’s projects: The artistic and dialogical negotiation of questions of equality in our society, the degradation and discrimination of women and the increasing number of violent crimes against women, and the colonial heritage of Europe, especially that of Italy.

Come to our garden and explore our books with a fresh drink!

Presentation of the project #qualcosanonva
7 pm

On the occasion of the “Action Day Frauenmarsch – Donne in marcia”.

With the project curators Angelika Burtscher and Daniele Lupo from Lungomare, Martina Oberprantacher from Kunst Meran Merano Arte and Maxi Obexer from Summer School Südtirol.

The campaign #qualcosanonva reflects on the background of violence against women in our society. In five tandems consisting of ten artists and authors, five poster campaigns have been created that use public and digital space to counter the narratives of the normal, to contradict the silence, to put ourselves on the side of those affected. The literary-artistic appeals use everyday and public space to initiate discourses and reflections on violence against women.

The posters are the result of joint discussions between the artists and authors with local experts and activists as well as the curators. 2000 posters will be displayed on public billboards and advertising spaces in South Tyrol in September.

Presentation of the project
“Mascarilla 19 – Codes of Domestic Violence”
7.30 pm

with Paola Ugolini, curator
Fondazione In Between Art Film

Art critic and curator Paola Ugolini introduces the project “Mascarilla 19 – Codes of domestic violence” by the In Between Art Film Foundation. Mascarilla 19 consists of eight new video productions commissioned from as many international artists: Iván Argote, Silvia Giambrone, Eva Giolo, Basir Mahmood, MASBEDO, Elena Mazzi, Adrian Paci and Janis Rafa. Mascarilla 19 is named after the campaign launched by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in response to the UN appeal on the appalling increase in domestic violence during the pandemic. In Between Art Film has responded to a global emergency with this project and at the same time supports artists by giving them concrete support for the production of new works at a time when all artistic endeavours have ceased.

The presentation with Paola Ugolini will be followed by the screening of seven of the eight video productions.

Screening duration approximately 100′.
In english with italian subtitles. 

Free entry // Green Pass needed
The number of participants in the film screening is limited to 30 seats.

Visto che l’anno scorso, a causa della pandemia di Covid-19, il Co-Carts Festival non ha potuto svolgersi. Vorremmo quindi approfittare di questo periodo estivo per presentarvi e celebrare le macchine per la collettività in una parata insieme a orizzontale e a tutti i partner del progetto negli spazi pubblici della città di Bolzano.

La Co-Carts Parata avrà luogo venerdì 23 luglio, a partire dalle ore 18:00 con partenza da Lungomare. Passeremo dal Piazzale Langer, sul Ponte Talvera e nell’area verde vicino al Ponte Roma e concluderemo il percorso al Parco Mignone.

La Co-Carts Parata sarà accompagnata dall’artista, cantautore e performer Yomer, che presenterà i carretti in modo performativo durante il percorso. Invitiamo tutte le abitanti e gli abitanti della città a venire a  conoscere le macchine per la collettività.

Since last year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the festival for the presentation of the Co-Carts project could not take place, we would now like to use this nice summer moment to present and celebrate the vehicles for the community in a Parade together with orizzontale and all project partners in the public spaces of the city of Bolzano.

The Co-Carts Parade will take place on Friday 23 July, starting at 18:00 at Lungomare, moving on to Piazzale Langer over to Ponte Talvera, to the green area near Roma-Bridge and ending at Mignone Park.

The Co-Carts Parade will be accompanied by the artist, singer-songwriter and performer Yomer, who will present the vehicles in a performative way. We invite all city residents and passers-by to join us to get to know the vehicles.

Opening: October 8, 6:00 pm with Lectures by Jochen Becker and Angelika Burtscher

The exhibition is curated in collaboration with Jochen Becker (metroZones, Berlin), Angelika Burtscher (Lungomare, Bolzano), and Social Design Studio of the University of Applied Arts Vienna

LECTURES:

Jochen Becker (metroZones): What is Outside? Cultures of the In-Between City

The urbanisation of the landscape or the ruralisation of the city is one string of the development; at the same time, the city is also splitting up from within. The rediscovery of inner city housing for a young and affluent strata of society has advanced segregation – the social divide between rich and poor, between first occupants and the alienated, between the loud and the silenced. Many have to turn to that which used to be called the “outer city” in Berlin.

But what does “outside” mean, actually? This question is charged, for the “outside” can be imagined spatially, as a fringe of the city, or also scattered as periphery and hinterland, but it also reflects a process of social fragmentation into who still belongs and who doesn’t. The speculative investments of housing companies, in particular into large residential settlements, give reason to fear that affordable housing will soon be a contested and scarce commodity on the periphery, too. And where does our food come from anyway – our water, our fresh air, our products and goods?

Jochen Becker (Berlin) works as an author, curator, and lecturer. He is a founding member of metroZones | Center for Urban Affairs and co-curates the “station urbaner kulturen” in Berlin. In Düsseldorf he is currently developing the projects “City as Factory” and “Place Internationale” (2017–2021).

Angelika Burtscher (Lungomare): Curating and Designing Public Interests or: Can Transformation be Curated?

As curators and designers, we have the opportunity to involve ourselves, encourage dialogue, enable transdisciplinary collaborations, be mediators and translators between knowing and not-knowing, and inspire exchanges between different people, experiences, facts, and desires. In this process, how can we generate new political and social relations and re-imagine collective strategies and spaces? Which contexts already exist to this end and which still have to be created? How can artistic and cultural practices formulate concrete proposals for the transformation of a given state?

Angelika Burtscher is a founding member of Lungomare (Bolzano, Italy). Lungomare initiates, curates, and produces transdisciplinary art and design projects and collaborations at the interface of the public, the virtual, the printed, the urban, and the exhibition space.

You can watch and listen to the conversation as a video or audio track.
