With members of Robida Collective, Zabriskie, Mariana Dobkowska & Rosario Talevi
Robida x Zabriskie is part of Konteksty (Postartistic Congress) 6–9.06.2024 at Floating University, Berlin. Konteksty is an assembly of postartistic practitioners and a public programme.
We have been following Robida magazine from afar for several years, have had it in our program since the 7th issue, and got to know members of the collective personally last year via Konteksty and Floating University - and are now very pleased to be able to present the collective's latest publication in cooperation with Konteksty and Floating.
Robida is a situated and multilingual cultural magazine published by Robida collective. Each issue explores a topic connected and generated by Topolò/Topolove, the village on the border between Italy and Slovenia where the collective is based. The chosen topic is thrown into the world and interpreted by people who have never been to Topolò. What people send back after the open call is not only a contribution to the exploration of a defined theme but also a new interpretational tool to explore the collective’s relation to Topolò.
During this conversation, we will discuss the ninth issue of Robida magazine – which digs into soil, dirt, mud, earth, ground and compost through six categories, each proposed by one editor of the magazine: symbolic, feminist, theoretical, dwelling, contaminated and tactile soils – and Robida’s newest publication dedicated to their project Academy of Margins.
Konteksty (Postartistic Congress) is convened by Bogna Stefańska, Eliza Chojnacka, Jakub Depczyński, Krzysztof Bielecki, Maja Demska, Marianna Dobkowska, Rosario Talevi, Sebastian Cichocki, Zuzanna Fogtt.
Food intervention by Jasmine Parsley & Paula Erstman
