The partners of the SMACH project conclude that cultural heritage isn’t only preserved by improving and expanding knowledge of available technologies and the historical-archaeological research, but also by raising awareness and engaging citizens in the process, with the ultimate goal of adopting a holistic approach to cultural heritage management.
This project was very successful, and sparked a much needed conversation on the issues linked to climate change and cultural heritage preservation, and consolidated the network of collaboration between Italy and Balkan countries.

VIU will hold the third (limited) edition of the Venice World Multidisciplinary Conference on Republics and Republicanism on May 27-28, 2022. This two-day edition will include research papers and an artistic performance. Research papers will reflect the main themes of the 59th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Bienniale: the representation of bodies and their metamorphoses; the relationship between individuals and technologies; the connection between bodies and the Earth. The exhibition's title The Milk of Dreamstakes its name from a book by Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington (1917-2011).
The conference call involved two main areas:
- art and revolution (visual and performative art as agent of change; the artistic representation of res publica historically, whether it was forged, consolidated or transformed with the help of the arts, or on whether arts right now is one of the main forces contributing to the flourishing of res publica as a mode of life)
- body politics and the earth (green and eco-republicanism; environmental humanities to save the planet; the technologies of res publica as a political body; feminism and republicanism)
