Visura Aperta Momiano is a call to artists, architects, curators and cultural practitioners for action, interaction and reaction in the micro locality of Momiano/Momjan – a field dense and complex in relationships and meanings. The area Visura Aperta operates in geographically is one with deep reaching layers of history, divisions, political upheavals, social transformations, memories and fantasies. It is within this combination of imaginary and historical pasts that Visura Aperta situates itself as a temporary community transforming the public space, as guests in a particular micro location, not attempting to become locals but returning a certain hospitality the city offers us.

Visura Aperta 2009 will feature a range of programmes related to architecture and questioning the spatial discourses within visual arts.

For the duration of the festival this temporary community formed as a platform for primarily young artists and curators will act as a tester, mapping the territory it inhabits and featuring programmes, works and presentations.
