Il 24 e 25 ottobre, negli spazi di Palazzo San Francesco ad Agnone (IS), si terrà il convegno internazionale “Beyond Community – Hybrid Practices of Mapping and Participation” L’iniziativa è organizzata dall’Università degli Studi del Molise – Dipartimento di Bioscienze e Territorio, nell’ambito del progetto MappInTur – Mapping partecipativo del patrimonio territoriale della Valle del Verrino e propone due giornate di confronto sul ruolo delle pratiche cartografiche partecipative come strumenti relazionali ed epistemici in grado di produrre conoscenza, orientare immaginari territoriali e sostenere i processi di governance.
Il convegno mette in discussione nozioni essenzialiste di “comunità”, esplorando pratiche cartografiche ibride che nascono all’intersezione tra iniziative dal basso, azione istituzionale, mediazione tecnologica e sperimentazione artistica. Attraverso keynote, sessioni tematiche e attività sul campo, “Beyond Community” offre uno spazio critico per interrogarsi su come e quanto le carte partecipative contribuiscano alla costruzione di futuri condivisi, alla negoziazione dei significati territoriali e alla ridefinizione della giustizia spaziale.
Parteciperanno docenti e ricercatori provenienti da 16 paesi di Europa, Africa, Americhe e Asia.
MOSTRA FOTOGRAFICA
Contestualmente al Convegno, la mostra legata al concorso fotografico “Voci del Verrino. Sguardi in cammino lungo il fiume” con la sezione speciale “Volti del Verrino”. In esposizione dal 24 al 31 ottobre, le foto restituiscono uno sguardo corale sulla Valle del Verrino: gli scatti selezionati raccontano l’acqua, i paesaggi agricoli e produttivi, tracce di abbandono, pratiche ordinarie, memorie e relazioni. La sezione “Volti del Verrino” raccoglie ritratti e incontri tratti dalle interviste svolte sul territorio: persone, storie e pratiche che danno voce al fiume e alle comunità che lo abitano.

Beyond Community – Hybrid Practices of Mapping and Participation investigates mapping as a relational and epistemic practice, capable of producing knowledge, shaping territorial imaginaries, and supporting governance processes. By questioning essentialist notions of “community,” the conference explores hybrid cartographic practices that emerge at the intersection of grassroots initiatives, institutional action, technological mediation, and artistic experimentation. The map is conceived as a device capable of activating forms of agency, fostering social innovation, and reconfiguring the relationships between people, places, and power. Through keynote lectures, thematic sessions, and field-based activities, the event offers a critical space to analyse how — and to what extent — participatory cartographies contribute to the construction of shared futures, the negotiation of territorial meanings, and the redefinition of spatial justice. The initiative is organised within the framework of PNRR CHANGES – Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Sustainable Society (Spoke 9, Cultural Resources for Sustainable Tourism), a national research project dedicated to the co-creation of knowledge, tools, and practices for sustainable territorial development. It is also part of the research activities of PRIN MIND – Mountains Inside the Mountains. The conference brings together scholars, practitioners, and artists from diverse disciplinary and geographical contexts to critically examine the ways in which mapping practices enable new forms of participation, narrate complex spatialities, and support processes of social and territorial transformation. It aims to offer a platform for dialogue and experimentation, fostering intersections between theory and practice, academic research and grassroots knowledge, and between the material and symbolic dimensions of contemporary spatial production. The Scientific Committee is composed of Federica Burini (University of Bergamo), Viviana Ferrario (IUAV University of Venice), Paolo Gruppuso (Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, LMU Munich), Monica Meini (University of Molise), Marco Petrella (University of Molise, coordinator) and Francesco Visentin (University of Udine). The Organising Committee includes Marinangela Bellomo, Chiara Brunale, Diana Ciliberti (coordinator), Giada Mastrostefano and Giovanna Sebastianelli, all from the University of Molise.

Riunioni Informative: Coinvolgere cittadini e stakeholder per informarli sui progressi del progetto, condividendo gli sviluppi e raccogliendo feedback per orientare le attività future. Si prevedono almeno 6 incontri informativi per coinvolgere il 10% degli abitanti dell’area. Soggetti Coinvolti: Partner del progetto, comuni aderenti, popolazione.
Incontri per lo stato di avanzamento: Questa pratica favorisce la collaborazione tra i vari attori coinvolti, permettendo loro di monitorare e valutare concretamente il proprio contributo e di adattare le strategie di intervento in base alle necessità emergenti. Saranno organizzate con cadenza settimanale in modalità online o mista. Soggetti coinvolti: Partner del progetto con allargamento, se necessario, a partner istituzionali.
Incontri formativi interni: Saranno condotte sessioni di formazione per approfondire attraverso un approccio collaborativo e/o rovesciato le modalità di gestione delle interviste, come partecipare attivamente alle attività di lavoro sul campo, come strutturare un deep mapping partecipativo. Questo offre un’opportunità di crescita professionale e personale agli individui coinvolti. Soggetti coinvolti: Partner del progetto con allargamento, se necessario, a partner istituzionali.
Workshop, attività e fieldwork creativi: saranno condotte attività specifiche (almeno 24) destinate ad abitanti permanenti e temporanei per l’acquisizione di competenze sulle pratiche tradizionali, sulle modalità alternative di fruizione del fiume (il paesaggio dal fiume), sulla memoria storica dei territori del Verrino. Soggetti coinvolti: partner proponenti. Si prevede il coinvolgimento attivo di turisti e dell’1% dei residenti.
