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.

2.4 Nowtilus: Musei fuori rotta. Pesci scomparsi, tesori nascosti e lazzaretti
IT.
Spostando lo sguardo verso ciò che è meno conosciuto, ma non per questo meno importante, Nowtilus si imbarca a caccia di “Musei Fuori Rotta. Pesci Scomparsi, Tesori Nascosti e Lazzaretti” dove la rotta speriamo che venga invece volontariamente invertita.
Siamo spesso portati a pensare che Venezia sia un museo in ogni suo lato e luogo, ma ci sono molte realtà museali meno note che sfuggono anche agli occhi dei conoscitori più attenti della città. È possibile uscire dalle correnti turistiche che affollano i siti culturali più importanti, ed ampliare la visione e la conoscenza delle collezioni più piccole e/o più decentrate geograficamente, riconoscendogli il giusto valore che hanno nella storia della laguna di Venezia? La risposta è chiaramente: sì.
Chiacchierando di collezioni inaspettate nel centro storico, passiamo poi a parlare di due esempi di musei in laguna davvero fuori dall’ordinario e per questo eccezionali. A bordo di Nowtilus abbiamo infatti Lara Endrizzi, biologa marina che ci racconta la storia del Museo di Zoologia Adriatica “Giuseppe Olivi” di Chioggia e Giorgia Fazzini, project manager dell’Ecomuseo dei Lazzaretti Veneziani e delle molteplici attività e percorsi a cielo aperto che offrono. Esempi virtuosi di pensiero ed azione collettivi a favore di un nuovo modo di creare spazi museali con la laguna.
L'episodio è disponibile in italiano su Ocean-Archive.org e su TBA21–Academy Radio su SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Podcasts e Google Podcasts.
"Nowtilus. Storie da una laguna urbana del 21esimo secolo" è un podcast realizzato da Ocean Space, Venezia, per TBA21–Academy Radio. Musiche: Enrico Coniglio.
