The course "Dialogic Interventions in Public Space" constitutes an educational process that explores the relationship between private and public space and life. Through the units "Reading" and "Writing", the participants mapped human behaviour in public space and created autobiographical videos that connect personal memories with the city. The present exhibition brings to light the narratives of the urban landscape through the coexistence of image, sound, and narrative text.
The "Reading" unit focused on the mapping and understanding of human behaviour, as well as of the heterogeneous elements that compose the urban environment. Its theoretical framework drew on Michel Foucault's "Heterotopias", examining the principles that govern the heterotopias of crisis and deviation. Students were invited to produce an audiovisual work, composed of photographs and sound recordings, highlighting public space as a living field of interaction.
In the "Writing" unit, the participants explored the anthropogeographic dimension of public space through the lens of childhood and adolescence. They first created a psychogeographic map of the place where they grew up, charting their memories and lived experiences. They then proceeded to write a personal text, which served as the main narrative axis of their audiovisual composition.
