Nowtilus. Stories from an urban lagoon in the 21st century resurfaces from the digital sea in a new format: Nowtilus Live! After eight episodes in which Enrico Bettinello spoke with guests from diverse fields of expertise, “Nowtilus” makes its return to recount and reveal stories, notes and reflections, rethinking Venice today.

On October 10, from 5pm to 7pm, Nowtilus Live! will be ready to welcome you at Ocean Space, transforming the once digital dialogue into a lively social event. In this special episode, Nowtilus Live! investigates new and continually changing visions of Venice, moving between the imagination inspired by the city and its reality, between fiction and authenticity, between creative storytelling and documentary analysis in the field of visual art, together with three exceptional guests: Pietro Consolandi, artist and researcher with the Ocean Fellowship promoted by TBA21-Academy, Stefano Mudu, critic and researcher of contemporary art (Iuav University of Venice) and Sara Tirelli, artist and filmmaker. The conversation will be accompanied by a screening of the films "Hydra" (2020) by Sara Tirelli and "In girum revisited ..." (2017) by Antoni Muntadas, a musical performance by Enrico Coniglio taken from the album Teredo Navalis (2020), and final aperitivo kindly provided by Nardini. Curated by Enrico Bettinello and Alice Ongaro Sartori.

The event is free, but a reservation is required at this link.

All episodes of Nowtilus are available on Ocean Archive, SoundCloud, Spotify, iTunes and on Google Podcasts.
