Semiotics of the Riverside Performative intervention on the riversides of Bolzano
Presented at: Lungomare, Bolzano, Italy
The riversides of Bolzano, Italy is a place for relaxation and recreation, but also a space that can be unsafe and disempowering for many people, particularly for women and people from marginalised communities.
Referring to Martha Rosler’s famous video work “Semiotics of the kitchen” Sööt/Zeyringer, together with a group of locals, creates a performative intervention at the riverside. The project attempts to offer symbolic empowerment for people who face harassment or violence at this public space.
