in the part of ‘Futurity Island’ at the ‘Swamp Summer School’
platform to exchange knowledge for shifting discussions on public space – by exploring the surrounding environment / swamp – ‘living organism’ which borders (social, cultural, political) are permeable
ASC – an association of Venice residents
squat empty buildings and make them usable for people who need a place to live
address the need for affordable housing in Venice
residents themselves manage and care for these buildings, which have been neglected by the state for decades
