Rosario Talevi
Rosario Talevi is a Berlin-based architect, curator, editor and educator interested in critical spatial practice, transformative pedagogies and feminist futures. Her work advances architecture as a form of agency – in its transformative sense and in its capacity for acting otherwise and as a form of care – one that provides the political stakes to repair our broken world. Talevi is a founding member of Soft Agency, a diasporic group of female architects, artists, curators, scholars and writers working with spatial practices and Floating e.V., the non-for-profit association organising, programming and maintaining Floating University in Berlin. She was Guest Professor of Social Design (2021-22) at the Hochschule für bildende Künste (HFBK) in Hamburg and a fellow at the Thomas Mann Haus in Los Angeles, California.
Before the start of the Nomadic School, Rosario Talevi gathers excerpts of texts and short readings from participants and mentors, compiling a reader, a collection of reading spaces and multiple voices. This evolving landscape of knowledge becomes a relational map.
During the School, the reader is read aloud collectively, creating a shared space of intimacy: a time and place to learn not only from the content of the texts, but also from the nuances, accents, and rhythms of one another’s voices. The book then returns to social life, transforming into a space of encounter.
