International video art selection in dialogue with Chioggia’s fishing community


Bogiaisso in Chioggia dialect means 'vortex, the point where water bubbles up'

Since 2022, during the fishing moratorium, Bogiaisso has been a moment to look in the mirror and discover ourselves reflected in sensibilities, lands and waters both near and far, thanks to a selection of video works in profound dialogue with local life experience.

Bogiaisso is also a journey of collective imagination lasting 12 months, where fishermen, artists, artisans and curators meet in bars and trattorias to interrogate art and use it to critically re-imagine the present.

All this is possible thanks to the support of a scientific committee composed of over 20 curators and art experts who every year strengthen the bonds between contemporary art and the lagoon.
