Back to a future co-habitat

As part of the 2024 Biennale del territorio svizzero, transhumance is a five hours performance where an inter-being flock of sheep and humans will retrace the now obsolete vie mulattiere between Lugano's pre-alpine pasture and its city center. As a collective gesture of revaluation of the rural and pastural surrounding, you will take part to the flock's movement across the territory, alongside the shepherd and his herding dog.

The action will take place the 4th october 2024, starting at 7:00 am in Lugaggia
To participate sign up through the google form.

All people are welcome to rejoin the group at any time during the performance.
A link with the live GPS coordinates of the flock will be shared later by mail to all participants.

An exhibition with a collection of video reportage of the performance filmed by Agnese Làposi and Andrea Bardoli, will be exposed at the Limonaia in Villa Saroli, Lugano.
