Lagoon Dialogues is a project that presents a series of informal conversations over different topics such as sustainability, re-use, inclusion and future perspectives, with a specific focus on post-Covid scenarios in Italy and Venice. Staged at the Korean Pavilion, these dialogues are conducted around and through the sharing of food, traditionally a cornerstone of Italian culture. Here, food is not just a meal but a tool—a medium to facilitate and a way to reconnect following the long lockdowns and physical distancing of the past year.
Lagoon Dialogues offers an inside view of Venice, from local residents, artists and activists within the context of the ongoing installation of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition.
The event is part of the Biennale Sessions, a unique occasion for Universities and learning Institutions to organize each year both a tour of the exhibition and a seminar related to the themes of the Biennale, inside the Biennale spaces.
The participation in the workshop is open to everyone interested and holding an entrance ticket to the Biennale exhibition.
Those who have bought the Biennale pass and have not used all the 3 entrances yet, can use the same ticket.
Meeting point: 9.40 am, in front of the entrance to the Biennale. Entrance at 10 am. Please be punctual.
Remember to bring the ticket, the Green Pass and a document (ID card or passport).
In case you have screenings to show, please save them to a pen drive or bring your PC (if you have a Mac, remember to bring an adapter).
During your stay in the workshop room, you must wear the mask, even during the presentation and the discussion.
