Lilian Fraiji
Lilian Fraiji is an activist, curator and producer based in the Amazon, Brazil. She is the co-founder of Labverde, a platform dedicated to the development of multidisciplinary content involving Art, Science, Traditional Knowledge and Ecology. She has curated several art exhibitions involving the subject of climate crisis and nowadays she is collaborating with the Forest Project (Invisible Flock-UK), the Art and Environment Program of University of Arts London.
Building on her work at Lab Verde, Lilian Fraiji leads participants in reflections on landscape through artistic, anthropological, and ecological lenses. In the first part, the Amazon rainforest meets the Dolomites: the landscape, as a mental construct imbued with memories and personal imaginaries, becomes a space of interaction between different beings and agencies. Using fungal-plant symbiosis as a paradigm for interdisciplinary knowledge, the workshop asks what mountains can teach us about time and relationships.
In the second part, participants undertake a silent walk, inspired by the deep listening practice theorized by composer and researcher Pauline Oliveros, exercising multiple modes of listening and perception.
