Radicate è nato nel 2012, quando strumenti come Skype iniziavano appena a diffondersi.
Fin dall’inizio li abbiamo adottati per mettere in relazione persone e idee in modo diretto e immediato, creando un archivio in continua evoluzione.
Questo avveniva molto prima che piattaforme come Teams o Meet diventassero di uso quotidiano.
L’intenzione era di sfruttare questi strumenti di connessione per esplorare questioni urgenti come migrazioni, trasformazioni tecnologiche, climatiche e geopolitiche, attraverso conversazioni con artisti, curatori, scienziati e ricercatori di tutto il mondo.Radicate è un progetto ideato da Tiziana Casapietra.
