This episode of Magical Fresh & Salty Conversations features the artist and STARTS resident Sonia Levy in conversation with Erika Balsom, a London-based scholar and critic working on cinema, art, and their intersection. During their STARTS residency, Sonia Levy and her collaborators, environmental anthropologist Heather Swanson, ecologist Meredith Root Bernstein, and landscape architect Alexandra Arènes, looked at the Venetian Lagoon through the lens of nature-based solutions to mitigate flood risks. What issues arise from Venice’s long history of taming its waterscape? With a shared commitment to noticing more-than-human worlds, the group strived to forge their own understanding of the controversies arising from the lagoon’s water management.
In Sonia’s eyes, lagoons are fascinating places to think about the meeting of different bodies of water - fresh and saltwater. Filming underwater became a way to get to know the ephemeral world of the lagoon and its processes of transformation in the hope that this submerged perspective might also bring about speculative approaches to policy change.

2.0 Nowtilus: Storie da una laguna urbana del 21esimo secolo (Seconda Stagione)
IT.
Nowtilus. Storie da una laguna urbana del 21esimo secolo" è un programma podcast di ricerca, un archivio polifonico di storie, appunti e temi per ripensare Venezia oggi, sfatando i luoghi comuni sulla città e rimettendo la sua laguna al centro dell’attenzione.
Dopo gli undici episodi del 2020 (e due "Nowtilus Live!" dal vivo), il podcast "Nowtilus. Storie da una laguna urbana del 21esimo" secolo torna dal 17 novembre 2021 per una seconda stagione di otto episodi, che condurranno nuovamente le ascoltatrici e gli ascoltatori in un viaggio di scoperta e discussione, affrontando la sostenibilità della laguna oggi, le azioni creative che i suoi abitanti compiono ogni giorno per mantenerla viva e straordinaria secondo logiche virtuose. Chi salirà a bordo di “Nowtilus” verrà portato a esplorare temi e prospettive legate alla multiculturalità e alle migrazioni, di ieri e di oggi, che attraversano in filigrana i vari episodi.
Venezia come incontro di culture, crocevia acquatico di conoscenze e mescolanza di saperi, sapori ed orizzonti, queste le tematiche che emergeranno dalla seconda stagione del podcast, in uscita ogni due settimane. Un invito all’inclusione, alla consapevolezza che la sostenibilità passa attraverso il rispetto reciproco tra creature umane e non-umane, e che la stessa città, “Regina dell’Adriatico”, è frutto di scambi, incontri, raccordi, difese.
"Nowtilus. Storie da una laguna urbana del 21esimo secolo" è un podcast realizzato da Ocean Space, Venezia, per TBA21–Academy Radio.
Episodi, disponibili solo in italiano, a cura e condotti da Alice Ongaro Sartori e Enrico Bettinello.
Musiche originali di Enrico Coniglio.
Montaggio audio di Kinonauts.

"Nowtilus. Stories from an urban lagoon in the 21st century" is a research podcast, a polyphonic archive of stories, notes, and themes relating to rethinking Venice today, dispelling myths about the city, and placing the lagoon back at the center of attention.
After the eleven episodes in 2020 (and two Nowtilus Live! events), the "Nowtilus. Stories from an urban lagoon in the 21st century" podcast returns on November 17, 2021 for its second season of eight episodes, which will once again lead listeners on a journey of discovery and discussion, addressing the lagoon’s sustainability, and the creative and virtuous activities that its inhabitants carry out every day to keep it alive and extraordinary. Whoever comes aboard “Nowtilus” is guided through themes and perspectives relating to multiculturalism and migration, both past and present, which run through the various episodes like arteries. Venice is a meeting place for cultures, an aquatic crossroads of knowledges, and a mixture of flavors and outlooks. These are some of the themes that will emerge from the second season of the podcast, which is released every two weeks. The series is an invitation to reflect on inclusion, the notion that sustainability can only be achieved through mutual respect between human and non-human lifeforms, and the fact that the city itself, the "Queen of the Adriatic", is the result of migrations, exchanges, encounters, connections, and defenses.

Episodes, available in Italian only, curated and lead by Enrico Bettinello and Alice Ongaro Sartori.
