Organized by Nicolas Helm-Grovas, Jasmine Pisapia, Angelica Stathopoulos, and Verónica Stedile Luna

This workshop offers an opportunity to observe and reflect on diagrams, considering their materiality, visual tactics, and formal mechanisms. Through a shared, multidisciplinary exercise in ‘close reading’ and ‘slow looking’, participants will explore the open forms and conceptual possibilities of symmetry and reversibility, repetition and separation, cracks and connections, compasses, graph paper, dotted lines, arrows, and more.

The symposium Diagrams Between Gestures and Spaces is dedicated to exploring the material appearance and internal mechanism of diagrams. The first part will consist of close-reading exercises. Participants will look at and discuss single diagrams from various disciplines, found in literature or self-made by the participants, in order to account for their formal strategies, possible variations and conceptual consequences.

Organized by Filippo Bosco and Yuri Di Liberto

Registration opens on 8 June 2026.

It is telling that Evelyn Underhill referred to mysticism as ‘experience in its most intense form’.

Combining the notions of performativity and embodiment, this book situates the body in the realm of processes, movement, and poiesis, seeking to generate alternative configurations to mind–body dualism. Focused on language, literature, dance, affect, gender, sport, and disability, the contributions to this volume emphasize doing over being: the body does and is done; it is engaged in a movement of co-constitution with the world. It is in doing that bodies produce knowledge and shared or contested social meaning.
