We host the presentation of the new issue of "Cartography". Independent paper magazine, devoted to travel culture, for its twelfth edition, "Cartography" traveled to Brazil, La Gomera to Tangier, and in West Texas. Journalist Luca Pitoni opens the talk, in conversation with Gaia Piccarolo, architect and architectural historian, to introduce the journey into Brazilian Modernism. The reportage and a short documentary, made by “Cartography,” in the houses that have shaped the new landscape of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo since the 1950s are presented. Also on view is a trailer shot along the banks of the Cristalino River in a nature reserve in the Amazon rainforest. Then, a dialogue between Domingo Milella artist and Francesco Zanot curator on the future of image, starting from Milella's "archaeological photography" work. Finally, "Cartography" reports from a research trip by the anthropologist Alexander C. Trigg to La Gomera, on the trail of the tradition of silbo, a whistling language still practiced today, handed down and taught on the Spanish volcanic island.
