RESIDENCY 2: MAKING GOOD

18 JANUARY – 18 JULY 2027

From the origin of the Italian word bonifica, bonum facere (making good), an invitation to reflect on the transformative power of human action, starting from the historical reference of the Canale Maestro della Chiana (1338), a land reclamation project that reshaped the landscape of the Valdichiana. From there, it explores the boundary between intervention and imposition, as well as gestures of care, deviation, and rewriting.

A PLACE<strong> THAT GIVES SPACE to live, to create, to work</strong>

Lievito takes place at La CAP Re|Hub, in Sinalunga (SI). A centre for authors, makers, reresearch and creation, born from the regeneration of a former rural farm in Valdichiana Senese, Tuscany. Residents live within the same space where the equipped studio and accommodation are located, fostering extended timeframes, continuity between life and work, and informal opportunities for exchange.
