symposium and film screening: 22 > 24 October
film screening: 25 > 27 October

A week of talks, performances and screenings to reflect with the artistic collective Shaken Grounds on our present, questioning the themes of art, geology and the impact of human action on the environment.

Today, areas subject to seismic and volcanic activity influence artistic expression differently. If in the past these regions offered a polytemporal vision of the world by connecting people, they now suffer from the exponential increase in pressures due to human action: extraction of natural resources, exploitation of aquifers, and waste disposal.

The artistic collective Shaken Grounds explores the intersections between natural seismic activity and anthropogenic environmental damage through a series of artistic experiments. At the symposium, discussions, videos and performances give space to questions about how cinema, performance art and geology intertwine within a specific artistic research process.
