MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESIDENCY PROGRAM _ JUNE 2016_ TALEGGIO VALLEY, NORTHERN ITALY

please help us spread the word by sharing this email with your contacts!
Nature, Art & Habitat at Soggiorno Mazzoleni -- Taleggio Valley, Bergamo, Italy -- is a summer program that aims to unfold and display a sensitive type of culture that relates to nature as a source of inspiration and a measure of available resources. The ultimate goal is to unveil intimate links with all living organisms and to develop a more resilient and vital coexistence - in which humans would not be conceived as separate from, but part of, nature.
2016 Topic - "The Woods"
NAHR is pleased to launch the 2016 summer residency focused on THE WOODS - RESILIENCY IN NATURE. “The Woods,” as a primary natural feature, represents a renewable yet depleting resource. They help sustain life on Earth by filtering the air and providing the planet’s oxygen, they stabilize the soil and offer shelter and nutrients to animals; they are widely used as a material for human housing, for building furniture and tools, to provide energy and indoor heating. While becoming globally scarce due to deforestation and mismanagement, the woods represent a thriving habitat of the Taleggio Valley encompassing a mix of biotic and abiotic components, such as flora, fauna, minerals, microorganisms, water, light, atmosphere, and soil.
