This meeting is part of “Parlaments d’aigua”, the project selected by the Institut Ramon Llull to represent Catalan culture in the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, within the “Eventi Collaterali”. From the perspective of architecture, the project explores relationships of interdependence among humans, non-humans, and the water systems that sustain them, with the aim of proposing more hopeful future scenarios.
