“Walking with Water” is a cycle of experiential walks promoted by the Laboratorio del Cammino within the program of Satellite Events of the Festival of the New European Bauhaus 2024. 

​

“Walking with Water” consists of nine walks taking place from April 13 to May 3, 2024 in different cities and towns in Italy (Turin, Florence, Naples, Palermo, Cesena, Castelfranco Veneto, San Benedetto del Tronto, Senise-Montecotugno and Genzano di Lucania). Each walk aims to guide participants to reflect upon the contested nature of water in diverse rural, urban, and periurban landscapes and experience different typologies of landscapes connected to water, examining how it can be interpreted as a resource for both human and non-human subjects, and can nourish the habitats and ecosystems that these subjects inhabit.

 

“Walking with Water” re-establishes a physical and emotional connection with the waterscapes. The focus is on using the walking practice and its multisensory potential for re-discovering the waterscapes, unfolding aesthetically pleasant feelings or emotions, and shaping patterns of human-nature relationships.

The community of a revolutionary dam

The Montecotugno dam is the largest earthen dam in Europe. The lake was built in one of the most fertile areas of the region. Today the integrity of the ecosystem is threatened by the sudden effects of climate change.
