“The world today is changing in a way that is threatening traditional forms of coming together and prompting a search for new ways of living together. The climate emergency, crisis in democracy and digitalisation are all challenges that are opening us up to the need and desire to invent new forms of gathering.
The international and multidisciplinary programme Platform for New Assemblies brings together key figures from various disciplines – art, science, cookery and architecture – to discuss various configurations of the collective and examine the way in which we do, and will, live together. They will do so in a variety of forms: spoken word, concerts, performances, screenings, a "meta-siesta", listening session and exhibition of works.
As part of Moviment, the collective invites participation in a "meta-siesta" over four exploratory sessions, each lasting one hour and constituting moments of presence and contact.
On the basis of various sensorial suggestions, through polyphonic singing and playful interactions, participants are guided to experiment a space of togetherness.
