AS IF – 16 Dialogues about Sheep, Black Holes, and Movement

S IF – 16 Dialogues about Sheep, Black Holes, and Movement is a reader about life and multiplicity and the desire to shape the present and imagine the future through artistic and creative processes. “Activating Contextual Practices”, “The Public Space as a Field of Action”, “Sharing Knowledge”, and “A Sense of Belonging” are the four chapters that weave together a synaptic network of individual and collective biographies, relating geographies, history, and nature. Sixteen dialogues, trialogues, scenographies, correspondences, and glossaries connect people, fields of work, and disciplines to embrace alternative and diverse ways of living and thinking. Fifty-four voices that together reveal how active and visionary engagement can create a resonance that connects, heals, and fosters transformation processes. Angelika Burtscher and Daniele Lupo are the founders and the artistic directors of Lungomare, a platform for cultural production and design. They work at the intersection of artistic production and design with a focus on public urban space. With a transdisciplinary approach, they realize and design multiple collaborations and exhibition and publication projects as well as site-specific artistic productions
