Due to her mixed origins from Italy, North Africa and the Middle East, which converge on the sea, she describes herself as Mediterranean. Her practice and research focus on issues of identity, feminism, digital nomadism, post-migration and art as a possibility of resistance and &#x27;making visible&#x27;, especially in relation to the Kurdish cultural genocide and the Rojava social system. She developed her MAS project under the title &#x27;Curating (Post) Migration&#x27;. She is the initiator of the MigrationsMuseum Zürich (www.migrationsmuseum.com), of the project The Feminist Capital (www.collettiva.ch) and with the collective Zaira Oram of the OTO SOUND MUSEUM (www.oto.museum). She has two daughters. She is co-editor of the OnCurating issue &quot;Work, Migration, Memes, Personal Geopolitics&quot;, published and presented with a panel as a parallel event to Manifesta 11 (http://www.m11parallelevents.ch/). Contact: +41 766493931Subject of the tour:The Stadt, Land, Fluss walk aims to reveal how Zurich, through art, overcomes its identity and embraces not only its personal migratory component, but also the suggestions of distant oceans and nations thematised through the symbolic restitution of ecological struggles and perception exercises. Starting with the project Found in Translation at the Helmhaus and the installation KOMMEN, ABHÄNGEN! at the Wasserkirche by Stefan Vogel for Tichy Ocean Foundation, we will visit spaces on both sides of the Limmat River, crossing it right where the river splits in two and then reaching the OnCurating Project Space as the last stop, where the performance Training to Access Ecology as a Migratory System #2 - Oceanic entanglements from Stefanie Knobel &amp; Samrat Banerjee will begin at 4 pm.The walk will be conducted in German, but can also be translated into English if required.We look forward to sharing this exciting moment with you!
