Condominio Mediterráneo – Visual & Performing Arts

Presented within the framework of the exhibition Terra Incognita (Unknown Land) – Part II, curated by Mohamed Benhadj, the evening brings together performance, research, choreography, and dialogue through a series of interventions developed by students and collaborators of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Reggio Calabria. This collaboration opens a new space for exchange between Italy and Barcelona, academy and gallery, highlighting artistic research as a collective and participatory practice. The performances activate the gallery space in direct relation with the exhibition and its artworks, creating an immersive dialogue between movement, architecture, and contemporary artistic practice. The event is coordinated by Savina Tarsitano in collaboration with Al-Tiba9 Gallery and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Reggio Calabria.

Closing Performance : Spazio Mediterráneo

A choreographic research project exploring the Mediterranean as a space of transit, displacement, permanence, and invisible borders. Developed through the somatic translation of Morse code into movement, the performance combines rhythmic structures with fluid and wave-like gestures, creating a tension between mechanical communication and the instability of water. The work reflects on migration, human movement, and the Mediterranean as a dense geopolitical and emotional landscape.
