VIVARIUM: Latin word that was traditionally used to name the fish nurseries and gardens located next to the Mediterranean Sea, during Roman times. Over time, its use expanded to name everything that belongs to living beings and to emphasize the importance of those natural spaces that could be considered a place for life.
Vivarium project is a reminder that, collectively, we have the power to imagine and create a kinder, more humane world by embracing multiculturalism, sustainability, diversity and nature
Through initiatives and events that encompass voice, body and nature, Vivarium project wants to emphasize the value of the ocean as a place for life.
I was born and brought up by the Mediterranean Sea. This is where my roots are and where my journey began. Despite my living abroad since I was 21 years old, the connection that I have with the Mediterranean Sea and the ocean is very strong and it holds a very special place in my heart. Swimming in the ocean makes me feel free and gives me a deep sense of belonging.
In early 2006, life surprised me with a very beautiful gift when I got the opportunity to move to Asia. This continent, its cultures and peoples, stole my heart immediately and I felt at home from the very beginning. In Asia, I developed my professional career in storytelling. It is also the place where I discovered the importance that movement and our bodies have to our existence and to our freedom of conscience, our creativity and imagination.
Despite the geographical distance and the cultural differences between the Mediterranean and Asia, both cultures share very similar foundational values.
Understanding this connection between the two cultures contributed to my deep sense of belonging in Asia. It also gave me the opportunity of growing as a person and learning how to understand life’s possibilities beyond the culture in which I was born.
Vivarium is a community project that wants to preserve the foundational values of the Mediterranean culture while imagining a more sustainable future for the marine life and the communities whose lives are linked to the ocean. Particularly, it aims to bringing to light intergenerational stories from sea people from around the world.
If you want to collaborate with me in a community project that brings visibility and protects the life and values of the ocean, email me.
