Interzona
Sound, arts and technoculture in rural areas
Associazione Culturale Interzona is concerned with the revalorization of rural and marginal territories through study, field research and education projects focused on sound, arts and technocultures.
It was founded in 2003 in San Martino Valle Caudina, a rural center on the border between Irpinia and Sannio Benevento, located downstream of the Partenio and Taburno mountain massifs.
Starting with the international arts and new technologies festival Interferenze new arts festival, the Interzona Cultural Association has experimented, over the years and in different territories (Irpinia, Fortore beneventano, Barsento-Trulli area in Puglia, but also Molise, Cilento and Sicily), a series of hybrid formats (residencies, laboratories, workshops, field study projects) merged into a research platform focused on the concept of (neo-) rurality, in which multidisciplinary and critical approaches inspired by New media studies and Cultural and Postcolonial Studies intersect.
I have worked at Interzona for years, curating its branding and its digital presence.
