Dance Moves Opening – 15 Jan 2026

On Thursday, January 15th, concluding the international conference “Urban Mobility Cultures: Creative and Narrative Approaches to Moving in the City”, organized by the DiSSGeA department of the University of Padua in collaboration with the Mobility and the Humanities Centre for Advanced Studies, the museum hosted the pre-vernissage of the exhibition Dance Moves. Walking and drawing in the city, by artist-researcher Tânia A. Cardoso and MoHu member Giada Peterle.

The exhibition hosted several works by illustrator and urban planner Tânia Alexandra Cardoso, who explores the poetics of everyday life, using graphic art to question and co-create the urban environment.

The comic story Dance Moves emerges from an interdisciplinary dialogue between architecture, geography, urban studies, and graphic languages, developed over the years through creative workshops, conferences, and jointly conducted lessons. However, it is primarily the most structured outcome of the “walkshop” titled Walking with the city, a walking workshop organized in April 2025 to engage students from the University of Padua, particularly those from the Master’s Degree Course in Landscape Sciences.

This event, and more generally the conference, are part of the WALC – Walking Landscapes of Urban Cultures research project, which involved the Universities of Bologna, Padua, and Milan Bicocca.

The exhibition will be open from 16 Jan 2026 to 15 Feb 2026
