‘Space Nursingʼ is a communal art practice that combines artistic research, spatial activism, and experimental architecture to reimagine urban wastelands as rich sites of ecological and symbolic potential. Through the workshop, participants will investigate various microscopic inhabitants of Venice using portable microscopes. These tools will reveal the hidden ecologies and biodiversity present in the urban environment.
