Attraversiamo: artistic expressions along Italian routes

<p>Gustavo Ciríaco, a Brazilian choreographer and artist, and Andrea Sonnberger, an Austrian dancer, created the work “here while we walk”. According to them, this “is based on experience and the long tradition that unites walking with the production of thought and lucidity”. It is a silent journey to share the urban space, which is in constant transformation. In this experiment, exterior and interior “continuously mix”, as they point out. Although they suggest that it can be done without being noticed, our experience was observed (by several people) while we walked. Applied for the first time in Italy, it brought us ideas and sensations.</p> <p>Through of two proposals, that of Ciríaco and Sonnberger, and a second, created by the Spanish artist Maral Kekejian Hernand, we can see a bit of the activities of a large academic-artistic program related to the <a href="https://stsitalia.org/news/7th-sts-italia-summer-schoolarts-in-and-society/">7th STS Italia Summer School | ArTS in/and Society</a> that I integrated with more around 30 people from different countries, on September 3rd and 6th, 2024, at the <a href="https://www.accademiaspagna.org/?lang=en">Royal Academy of Spain (RAER)</a>.</p> <p>Choosing to make a register about this summer school through this artistic mode allows us to go beyond in the literary sense of “attraversiamo”, from Italian, which means “let’s cross over”. This is an invitation to take risks, to go beyond what is experienced in ordinary life, to leave your comfort zone.</p>
