7-9 November 2022



In preparation to the start of the residencies’ season, UNIDEE organised a meeting event, with the purpose of expanding its scopes to a transregional and trans-institutional scale. During three days of space and time sharing in Cittadellarte, in between conversations and convivial gatherings, invited participants from art institutions and collectives operating in the larger Mediterranean area discussed ways of organising, commoning, thinking and acting together.

Different-scaled organisations had a chance to take into focus their reciprocal examples of expanded curatorship and (para-)institutional practice. The programme delved into the collaborative and transdisciplinary work of the invited guests, in order to map different modes and methodologies of instituting, and so to plot sustainable strategies of exchange of knowledges and resources. Participants explored forms of socio-political, cultural and ecological vigilance in curatorial and educational work, while moving across the expansive geographies of the Mediterranean.

This event aimed at forging alliances and building an extended network of possible future collaborators, while starting weaving conversations to be further developed in the next biennium of the UNIDEE residency programme and beyond.
