Liminaria is a fieldwork-based research project aimed at developing sustainable cultural, social and economic networks in different rural areas located in Southern Italy.

The project unfolds through the planning and execution of “actions” on the territory, all carried out in joint collaboration with local communities. In this way, it seeks to test out new models of intervention in rural areas, thus reconfiguring rural territories as dynamic places while revaluing local resources.

The “actions” carried out within the framework of the project range from cultural events and performances (including a sound-art residency programme for international artists) to mid-term coworking projects with local schools, from network optimisation and new-media related initiatives, to hybrid and experimental research protocols.

This year, we will record and stream the sound of dawn from San Martino Valle Caudina, a small rural village placed in a Valley at the foot of Mt. Partenio Regional Park, in the western borders of Irpinia region.

The surrounding soundscape of the streaming point is dominated by the Partenio Mountain ridge, developing for over 25 km. The ridge is a limy mountain system with slopes cut by rather deep ravines leading rainwater and springs down to the valley. This territory is punctuated by built-up areas and sparse villages that rise in a landscape mainly characterized by woodlands, arboreal and herbaceous cultivations and pastures.
