Shaken Grounds: At the Edge of Form brings together local residents, artists, writers, philosophers, curators, geophysicists, and a wide audience for four days of meetings in Gibellina.
\nThrough film screenings, live performances, a symposium, and discussions, the program offers a space for reflection on what it means to live with seismic uncertainty. In a landscape shaped by the memory of the 1968 Belice earthquake and by ever-present questions of vulnerability and transformation, artistic practice becomes a way to listen, bear witness, and imagine, alongside scientific, philosophical, and local forms of knowledge.<\/p>\n

The event is part of the collaborative project Shaken Grounds. Art as Seismography within Creative Europe, organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb (MSU), the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Iceland University of the Arts, and the Volcanic Attitude Festival. The meetings in Gibellina represent a stage in a broader collaborative process initiated by the Shaken Grounds collective in 2023. The process will culminate in a group exhibition and an international symposium at the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb on April 29 and 30, 2027.<\/p>\n

Rather than following the format of a conventional conference, the four days unfold as a gradual journey through various modes of encounter: from cinematic experience to shared artistic practice, from interdisciplinary dialogue to reflections on moving images. This journey is accompanied by questions\u2014not as problems to be solved, but as ways to approach the relationships between bodies and landscapes, memory and the unconscious, the Earth's incessant processes and our own capacity to respond.<\/p>\n
