Carlo Scarpa Hall – free entry until full capacity
An event dedicated to the study that charts a territory at the epicentre of key trasformation of our time
More than a city, Palermo is a node in an expanded geography of flows – of people, capital, goods, data and species. Although historically Arab-Norman, the Sicilian capital has been reshaped by recent migrations and now counts Tamil, Somali and Nigerian identities as part of a complex anatomy. At the same time, Palermo’s controversial modern history has left indelible traces – physical, emotional and political – and a unique legacy of civic experimentation.
This study, commissioned by Manifesta 12, undertaken by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and published by Humboldt Books, represents an alternative model for pre-biennial exploration, and is based on an omnivorous collection of stories gathered on the ground, telling of people, places, events and possibilities.
