Resonance opens with a full day of listening, in all forms. Led by EADJ founder MarÃa Magdalena Campos-Pons, artists, scholars, curators, and Venetians spent a day in conversation: on image and archive, on practice and inheritance, on water and soil and what the body carries across geographies.
Some of the most important voices in contemporary art — among them Deborah Willis, Georges Adéagbo, Naiza Khan, Salah Hassan, Siddartha Mitter — gathered in one room for conversations including What the Image Carries, Stitching Geographies, How We Arrived Here, Sounding In Minor Keys, and Root and Return.
