A House For Mending, Troubling, and Repairing 2023 - a series

With A House for Mending, Troubling, and Repairing, Villa Romana proposes a public programme of workshops, laboratories, presentations and artistic interventions characterised by doing together, ecological thinking, and anti-racist and anti-discriminatory acting, to elaborate practices of radical conviviality, inclusion, sharing and restitution. The times of crisis we live in force us to rethink the way in which we co-inhabit the planet, and to reconsider some of the founding values of Western culture a culture that has discovered itself to be ecocidal, and epistemicidal towards systems of knowledge other than the grand Eurocentric narrative. In order to imagine an ecologically and socially sustainable future, Villa Romana opens itself up to the city as a laboratory for critical reflection and confrontation, as a space for socio-artistic-cultural experimentation and, at the same time, as a workshop and home for developing tools and practices that enable us to tackle the difficult work of repair to which we are called.
