Across multiple spaces/rooms at TAM (Tower Art Museum), visitors navigate fragmented and overlayered routes, drifting and flowing between screenings, live material processes, sonic traces, moving-images and collective-participatory gestures that connect bodies, spaces and imaginaries. Bread, cocciopesto, stone, water, pores and sound become porous mediums through which audiences navigate fragmented and overlayered routes, and shifting and flowing forms of collectivity. Refusing romanticized readings of Matera, Moving Through Porosities observes and accompanies Sassi as living formations shaped by displacement, contamination and cycles of repurposing that resist fixed narrations of ‘primitive’ and ‘modern’, [  ] and [  ] , [  ] and [  ] .

The presentation is informed by the COOP Publishing Practices - In the Wake of Erasure, particularly its methodologies of collective inquiry, translocal collaboration, and experimental publishing practices.
