Waterlines

WATERLINES is an artistic and literary residency run jointly by Ca’ Foscari International College and Fondazione di Venezia, in partnership also with San Servolo srl until 2022.
By combining literature with other arts, the project is meant to reaffirm the role of Venice as a place of cultural production through an artistic residency experience.

The resident artist recounts his or her personal experience during international events open to the public, sharing insights and reflections in to their culture and country of origin; the artists work in contact with the students of the International College, participating in workshops, discussions and seminars. Through their choice of expression – an essay, a story, a poem, a diary, or other form of art – the guests give an account of their living experience in Venice. They also have the opportunity to interact with other local artists and writers, exchanging ideas and experiences, and setting foundations for future collaboration.
