Ecological Crisis Echoes Through the Church of San LorenzoAnna Souter
Taumoepeau comes from a lineage of Tongan deep-sea navigators who for generations have safeguarded the myriad species of fish, coral, and seagrass that inhabit the surrounding ocean. Her installation is a call for collective care and ecological responsibility on both local and global scales.

Pacific peoples land at Ocean Space (and they do not do so empty-handed)Eva Chemello

Non è una chiesa a Venezia, è un oceano, un'orchestra, un racconto-opera d'arteFabrizia Mirabella
Lasciarsi Venezia alle spalle con una ninna nanna metallica che rimbomba e avvolge, al tempo stesso, timpani e corpo, al tempo stesso: è la filastrocca onomatopeica, è il collettivo di statue ossimoriche perché in movimento, umane e umanizzate, è la performance che va oltre l’arte per ritornare all’origine di tutte le cose, il primo ricordo, il desiderio atavico della nostalgia per il passato che si riflette sul presente.
