Nomadica is an ongoing permanent autonomous laboratory that approaches the moving image as a transversal medium with the potential to cross borders and open itself up to new explorations. Art (technē) is not a succession of standardized historiographies and narratives but a syncretic multitude of aesthetic and intellectual experiences.
Nomadica promotes the diffusion and rethinking of experimental cinema through different methods — screenings, seminars, workshops, and online events.
