Visiting Curator with invited mentors<b> Francesca Masoero &
Shayma Nader</b> (<b>QANAT)</b> and<b> Nouha Ben Yebdri
(MAHAL)</b>.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Overview</b><br>
Neither on Land nor at Sea invites to meander around unreducible
complications and on shifting grounds, to explore together ways in
which geography is historically, socially, and politically produced.
The project pluralises Mediterranean concepts/spaces as sites of
worldmaking and experimentation in communal living. To do so, it
adopts un-grounded geographies and colliding historicities as meeting
places, in which to congregate to elaborate on the role played by
situated practices and shared processes in the promotion of social
transformations, towards epistemic justice.<br>
</div>
<div>The UNIDEE modules are programme-based, short-residency formats.
Participating residents will be offered the opportunity to expand on
their ongoing research and practice exploring Mediterranean
complexities and geographical thinking in the arts and beyond, within
a group of peers and invited guests. The modules are interlinked, and
each contributes to shaping the discourse developed by the project as
a whole.<br>

<div><b>Programme</b><br>
Taking place<b> from October 10-19 2023</b>, module IV is conceived
as a double module, jointly co-curated by invited mentors<b> Francesca
Masoero & Shayma Nader (QANAT)</b> and<b> Nouha Ben Yebdri
(MAHAL)</b>.<br>
</div>
<div>Module IV, "E da quel giorno, l'uomo selvatico abbandonò la
valle" / "And since that day, the wild creature disappeared from
the valley" (provisional title), builds up on an exploration of the
uncanny, the magical, the political, and the ways we can engage with
them through collective and vernacular pedagogical processes.<br>
</div>
<div>This double module is an experiment in collaboration, bringing
together the research, practice and methodologies of QANAT and Silent
Pedagogies. Led by Francesca Masoero & Shayma Nader, QANAT is a
collective platform exploring the politics and poetics of water and
the ways in which manifestations of commoning come to form in Morocco,
Palestine and beyond. Initiated by Nouha Ben Yebdri at MAHAL,
"Silent Pedagogies" evolves and revolves around modes of
transmission in the field of contemporary art drawing from contextual
and non-institutionalized cultural manifestations and learning
institutes.<br>
</div>
<div>The programme employs different strategies and methodologies of
collaboration and exchange, like walking, journaling, storytelling on
pluriversality, collective reading, constructing structures/houses,
re-enchantment & hospitality to the invisible, cooking,
playing.<br>
</div>
<div>The residency programme's working language is English.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Participants</b><br>
We aim to invite a group of<b> up to ten residents</b> to take part in
the module. The programme is open to international participants of all
backgrounds, whose practice sits anywhere across the broad spectrum of
visual practice and research, with no restriction regarding
disciplines, media or methodologies of work. Applications from
artists, curators, writers, theorists, activists, all are welcome and
encouraged.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The selection of participants will be based on the affinity of
the subject matters, concerns and questions participating in the
applicant's work with those expressed by the general curatorial
framework of the project and by the conceptual positioning of the
residency module, as well as on the applicant interest and ability to
contribute to a programme-based residency whose working is grounded in
processes of active exchange and participation.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Practicalities</b><br>
The residency module will take place at Cittadellarte-Fondazione
Pistoletto, in Biella, Italy. The UNIDEE and Cittadellarte spaces will
host a large part of the programme, while further opportunities for
exploring the urban and rural landscape of Biella and its immediate
surroundings will be offered.<br>
</div>
<div>Participants will be accommodated within the premises of
Cittadellarte, in single rooms with the use of shared bathrooms. The
residential spaces offer basic cooking facilities and communal resting
areas.<br>
</div>
<div>Participants arrival is expected by the afternoon of the day
prior to the beginning of the module, departure is expected by the
afternoon of the day following the end of the module.<br>
</div>
<div>We are committed to meeting to the best of our ability any
accessibility requirements an attendee may have; this will be
discussed individually with prospective residents. Further information
regarding practicalities and FAQ available <a
