BORGOFUTURO SOCIAL CAMP #5

A SPACE FOR ECOLOGY AND SOCIABILITY

Who really inhabits a territory? In how many and in what ways can one inhabit it? Can we inhabit a territory while hovering between being there and not being there? It is from these questions that Social Camp #5 takes shape.

The Social Camp’s fifth edition takes place from 13 to 17 July 2022 in the Vallenzuolo countryside, between Ripe San Ginesio and Colmurano, in the Fiastra Valley. This year’s theme is Being There Not Being There – Perpetual Practices and Cures of Becoming.

Aware of the fact that a place can be experienced in many ways, that the decision to be there permanently and be sedentary is only one of the ways of inhabiting it, this year we decided to explore new ways of being there. In this edition of the Camp, we would like to collectively play with practices that generate presence in a place, regardless of how long we are there for.
Questioning what it means to inhabit a territory and to be a community, we will experiment different ways of being there collectively in the context of the Val di Fiastra. We, therefore, invite you to celebrate the temporary presence of social campers, creating spaces for reflection on the dynamic and inseparable relationship between being there and not being there in a way that allows the coexistence of presence and absence, and indeed recognises in the latter a necessary and inevitable condition.
