This Design Dialogue features a talk by architect, curator, and a current Het Nieuwe Instituut fellow (as part of O grupo inteiro) Ligia Nobre, linked to her essay-contribution to a new Valiz publication Slow Spatial Reader.Nobre’s focus is on artist Camila Sposati’s Earth Anatomical Theater (2014), a specific underground construction in Bahia, Brazil. She explores how, in a territory steeped in stubborn continuous histories of European extraction and Tropical resistance, Sposati’s one year art piece functioned as an ‘amplifier of knowledge’ and a portal to the unknown—that is to say, to the Earth itself.This program officially launches the new Valiz book, a timely and compelling collection of essays chronicling diverse ‘Slow’ approaches from spatial creative fields like architecture, sculpture, installation, dramaturgy, and performance, among other branches of research into dynamics and politics of space. The book’s editor Carolyn F. Strauss gives a short introduction, and she and researcher and landscape architect Daphne Bakker will engage in a dialogue with Nobre immediately following her talk. The program includes a short film curated by Bronwyn Lace of The Centre for the Less Good Idea. The evening is moderated by Sarah van Binsbergen.Ligia NobreLigia Nobre is a curator, researcher, and teacher who seeks out multiple and heterogeneous approaches and alliances with/in cultural-environmental platforms and artistic-political practices.
