Fieldwork Video Screening: Landscapes of Coexistence - 27 Nov 2024
The recent event organized by the Master’s Degree in Landscape Sciences at the University of Padua offered an intriguing perspective on various forms of coexistence in the landscapes of Giudicarie Esteriori.
The event began with an introduction by professors Benedetta Castiglioni, Margherita Cisani, and Roberto D’Alba, who contextualized the theme and presented the work done by students during the 2024 Fieldwork.
The core of the meeting was the screening of three videos created by the students, each focusing on a specific aspect of coexistence:
- The relationship between humans and wildlife
- The dynamics between insiders and outsiders in the territory
- The dialogue between past and future in the landscape context
These works offered an in-depth and multifaceted look at the complex interactions that characterize the landscape of Giudicarie Esteriori, going beyond traditional dichotomies.
The event concluded with a stimulating round table discussion featuring Carmela Bresciani from the Ecomuseum of Judicaria, Anna Sustersic from the Coexistence Festival (stakeholders of our Master in Landscape Studies), and Sabrina Meneghello from IUAV University of Venice. This discussion allowed for a deeper exploration of the themes that emerged from the videos and further perspectives on coexistence in contemporary landscapes.
The meeting highlighted the importance of an interdisciplinary and inclusive approach in the study and management of landscapes, promoting a vision that goes beyond simple oppositions to embrace the complexity of relationships between different entities and temporalities in the territory.
