#MemóriasCOVID19 Brazil

University of Campinas (UNICAMP) (BR)

#MemóriasCOVID19 is an online platform which is freely accessible and will be configured as a space where individuals can share written reports, photographs, drawings, letters, audio, songs and videos about their personal experiences during the pandemic. It is an autobiography of the COVID-19 experience, extrapolating data and numbers, bringing together individual emotions and perceptions. It is coordinated by researcher Ana Carolina de Moura Delfim Maciel along with a committee of curators from nine Brazilian institutions, in addition to France and Portugal. The platform will be completed in early August and can now be followed on Facebook and Instagram.

Molten Airs

Institutio Media (LT), Alt lab in collaboration with Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists' Association (LT)

The Molten Airs workshop series builds its narratives on casual life processes, repetitive habits, and social practices. By speculating on the human relationship to plants, food, or energy, but also using methods borrowed from the sciences, the series delves into yet unknown interactions between small and large, real and fictional, alive and not alive, us and them.

Extractivisms: Operations and Practices

Universidad Austral de Chile, Faculty of Architecture and Arts (CL), Institute of Visual Arts, Galería Réplica (CL)

Extractivisms: Operations and Practices is a curatorial proposal introducing the idea of an "expanded extractivism". To do so, it connects works by creators such as Ignacio Acosta, Jota Aldunate, Paula Baeza Pailamilla, Claudio Celis and María Jesús Schultz, Regina de Miguel, Lucía Egaña, Juana Guerrero, Bernardita Pérez, Celeste Rojas, Felipe Rivas San Martín, Andrés Terisse and Isabel Torres, to reflect on and discuss how to foment the questioning and exploration of these transversal practices and operations.

Sacred Garden

Egret Cultural and Educational Foundation TW

Sacred Garden refocuses the unbounded potential of music and art for a higher purpose. We embrace new technologies with a healthy blend of humanity's warmth and meaning. Performing art is our religion and the stage is our temple. As we traverse this dark pandemic episode, we should elevate music and art to soothe and encourage our inner creativity, imagination, and inner forces.

City without city: hidden gardens of city

City Interaction lab (FR)

We organize participatory talks at City Interaction lab to discuss non-standard perspectives of city analysis and city perception: "how can we see city borders? where are borders of the city and what are their roles in city formation?" As the result of the workshop, we will create a city atlas as part of the citizen science component of the City Interaction lab project. The main goal of the garden is to make the experience of city-dwelling participatory and show how everyone could contribute to city analysis and data collection in a creative way.

En Tehom

Musrara, the Naggar School of Art and Society (IL)

Between the city of Jerusalem and a desert, a man attempts to clear his mind of the fluxed inner voices of the tumultuous audience and find his own, only to reveal that the sole voice is constructed of many.

Disruptivity by Design

Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences, AT

Taking the notion of “disruptive innovation” as a starting point, the Garden Vorarlberg aims to challenge prevailing, techno-economically driven ideas of future development. Applying the disruptive design method, we explore visions of community as well as the association between spatial imaginaries and material practices, whereby digital architectures as well as physical spatial constellations and psychogeographies come into view.

Grounding

ITMO University, Art & Science Center (ITMO University), Art.ITMO.Residency, Dokuchaev Central Soil Museum

Acceptance of our responsibility to the Earth requires the capacity to think of soil as a complex systemic phenomenon that humans are only a part of. Based on the theories of Vasily Dokuchaev and Vladimir Vernadsky, the Grounding exhibition at the Dokuchaev Soil Museum will reconstruct the meanings of soil and its relationship to humans.

Opening Doors

Art X Company (IN)

In a land where multi- and inter- are axiomatic, how do digital disciplines embrace culture? Where concepts of access, inclusion, and infrastructure are not nearly as ubiquitous as the challenges of sustainability, how does the abundance of diversity in the arts adopt digital futures?
