“a proposito di una lite scoppiata a tavola su un argomento che non ricordo” an exhibition by Andrew Iacobucci, marks an entry point into the trajectories of Terraforma 2026, anticipating Terraforma EXO and Terraforma Radical School.
“Language, in this perspective, is not a stable system of correspondences, but an acoustic and sensory landscape composed of rhythms, brief utterances, and intensities. Language learning does not coincide with the acquisition of a code, but with a process of attunement: to learn a language is to expose oneself to a different regime of perception, to cross a threshold in which meaning emerges only gradually, beginning from the body. In this process, the subject moves through a paradoxical condition, suspended between regression and awareness.”
A special LP to seal the eight Terraforma editions, held in Villa Arconati from 2014 to 2023.

Terraforma Radical School is a four-day immersive program where learning unfolds through collective experience, artistic exploration, and shared presence. Set within Villa Arconati, participants live together, fostering an ongoing exchange with one another and with the surrounding environment—its sounds and rhythms. Through listening and field recording practices, the group forms a temporary community in dialogue with the landscape. The program culminates in an open restitution of the projects, where the labyrinth is activated and given voice through the sounds gathered and developed over the course of the program.
Terraforma EXO 2025 unfolded as a multi-city journey through Milan, Rome, Palermo, and Oslo. Over the course of the year, the project activated parks, museums, historic architectures, and waterfront sites, inviting audiences into a collective practice of deep listening and shared presence. Through concerts, performances, installations, and conversations, EXO 2025 sketched an evolving atlas of sonic ecologies, where each city became a temporary node in a broader, translocal experiment in coexistence.
