RESEARCH PROJECT “TRANSVERSAL TERRITORY”

Samstag 15.02.25
From: Mansoureh Aalaii

The doctor and choreographer Mansoureh Aalaii and the architect and visual artist Antoine de Perrot are researching the interplay between dance, the body and urban space at the University of Ticino. Their book Transversal Territory combines art and science and challenges us to reinvent our relationship with the environment through dance performances and installations.

  • Transversal Territory is a laboratory that links artistic, physical and health issues with urban and ecological themes.
  • Dance, performative bodywork and artistic installations serve as innovative research methods here.
  • The research is transdisciplinary and participatory - the local population is actively involved.
  • The aim is to question existing patterns of perception of urban space and the environment and to open up new perspectives.
  • The book's unique graphic concept invites you to dance through urban spaces.
  • Published by Park Books / Mendrisio Academy Press, graphics with HEAD Genève. Bilingual: English and Italian.
