Opening and introduction to the exhibition.

Event in English and Italian

Beings do not precede relationships but are born together with them, mutually shaping one another in the infinite weaving of threads that tangle and give rise to worlds upon worlds. Some call it entanglement, but here, it’s just a game—you’re about to step inside.

“Somewhere, Between” is a participatory audio-visual performance where audience and performers blur together, boundaries fade, and opposites reveal themselves to be inextricably intertwined in a co-becoming entanglement. The performance, produced by Campo Teatrale for the event INTERDEPENDENCE, is conceived and created by Usine Baug in collaboration with Pietro Francesco Pingitore (visual artist) and Matrix (New Media Artist – Interactive Sound & Visuals).

“Selling sustainability” means finding the right balance between two apparent polarities: promoting long-term, collective 'planetary' well-being and highlighting the immediate, concrete, and personal benefits for 'consumers'. Focusing exclusively on one side risks relegating sustainable initiatives to a niche or diluting their broader impact. The goal, then, is to integrate both perspectives, creating a narrative that appeals to personal motivations while fostering a collective commitment to sustainability.

A roundtable moderated by Angela De Marco, with Francesco Zurlo, Anna Luciano, Ilaria Giuliani, Chiara Barozzi, Elisa Flamini, Giancarlo Fabbro, Mattia Battagion, Laura Corà, Matteo Brambilla.
