New Transhumances

New Transhumances, an artistic residency promoted by Scuola dei Sassi. By engaging young people, students, artists, cultural professionals and local associations, the residency will bring the artist’s international practice into dialogue with Matera’s historical, social and cultural layers. The programme includes public meetings, workshops, in-depth sessions and screenings, culminating in the presentation of a permanent site-specific artwork. The artist of the residency is Emily Jacir, winner of the Golden Lion at the 52nd Venice Biennale. Emily Jacir’s practice spans various media, combining historical documentation, archival work, performance, and site-specific interventions.
