Lunchtime Lecture
am 23.05.2024 Biennale Urbana zum Thema: „Design with Empathy. A Festival Center in the making for St. Pölten“
Andrea Curtoni und Giulia Mazzorin in der Moderation von Neil Harkess
Tangente Festival Centris is a new public space to meet, exchange ideas, debate, celebrate and, perhaps, even to dream of other worlds together. The main guiding principles for its realization has been the ones of Participation and Hospitality. A collective process together with local actors to enable foster a future cultural infrastructure beyond the period of the Festival and a residency program to envision, construct and activate new environments. BiennaleUrbana curated and coordinated the overall process of transformation through the opening of new material and spatial narratives, the reactivation of lost memories and the activation of interactive spaces of estrangement. Inhabiting the site of construction has been the way to enter in a deep relation with the context and to enable the incredible transformative power emerging from a space in transition.
Wann: Donnerstag, 23.05.2024, 12.30-13:30
Wo: NDU Auditorium T 1.01
Der Vortrag wird in englischer Sprache gehalten.
