La Biennale di Venezia presents the RELAY performance, to be held on July 16th and 17th 2021 at the Teatro Piccolo Arsenale, as part of the Meetings on Architecture – Expanded Programme of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition titled How will we live together?, curated by Hashim Sarkis.
RELAY is a global conversation-relay lasting 24 hours, conceived and conducted by Adam Kaasa, Thandi Loewenson and David Burns of the Fiction Feeling Frame research collective at the School of Architecture, Royal College of Art in London.
“How can we speak to one other? How can we speak together?”: these are the questions raised by RELAY, in an experiment designed to activate conversations and connectedness, to create closeness and intimacy. The project involves over 50 architects, artists, curators and designers in a unique debate live online from every time zone across the world. It will start in Venice at 12 noon (12:00 CET; UTC + 2), passing the ‘conversational baton’ westward moving around the globe.
