BETWEEN LAND AND SEA is a political encounter and a programme of original artistic and theatrical productions developed and produced by Fondazione Studio Rizoma in cooperation with partners. The Festival was born from the first participatory and long-term creative collaboration between the three port cities, Bremen, Tunis and Palermo. acting as a bridge between Europe and the Maghreb and between the South and the North of Europe.
After its first edition hosted in Palermo in October 2021, BETWEEN LAND AND SEA has become the annual festival of Fondazione Studio Rizoma where the results of our projects, residencies, fellowships and other collaborations get presented to the city of Palermo. The Festival has engaged more than 100 artists, workers, researchers, migrants, fishers, farmers and citizens from across the world to examine and critically reflect on the existing connections between our cities and their intertwined histories, linked by global migration, environment, trade, heritage, land, urbanism, architecture, agriculture, and culture.
The Festival provides a curated space and moment for artists, activists and citizens to invent new ways to come together across borders and develop transnational and solidarity narratives. BETWEEN LAND AND SEA creates concrete transnational alliances, narratives and practices of solidarity to withstand future crises and disasters, such as desertification, conflicts arising from growing economic inequality, rising sea levels, displacement and global migration.
