Our Exhibit for the European Cultural Center (ECC) TIME SPACE EXISTENCE Exhibit at the 2023 Venice Biennale
We have been invited by the European Cultural Centre (ECC) to participate in their “TIME SPACE EXISTENCE” exhibit to be held at the Palazzo Bembo from May 20 – November 26, 2023.
Our exhibit is titled: “We are Venice, We are Boston.”
It offers three strategies for transforming low-lying cities like Venice and Boston, making them more resilient to rising sea levels.
While focused on Boston’s harbor, each strategy can take root in other low-lying cities hugging coastlines, including Venice. For these strategies we turn to design research and design explorations, hoping to develop design interventions that can protect and reinvent city life.
The three strategies include:

Interested in visiting the exhibit? Here’s how to find us:
Our exhibit is at Palazzo Bembo (Riva del Carbon, 30124 Venezia VE, Italy). At Palazzo Bembo, our exhibit is in Room C12 on the first floor, which is at the back of the right side of the building (when facing the canal). To get to the room, come up the stairs, take a hard right, and go to the room at the very end of the long white hallway, past the toilet. Upon entering the room where our exhibit is, our exhibit is on Wall B – the far-left wall.
