SUMMARY:PUFF
DESCRIPTION:Movement oscillates between lightness and strength\, balance and abandon\, moving through rhythms and gestures that evoke Brazilian urban dance.\nBreath\, pauses and the beating of feet become part of the choreography\, giving life to a presence in continuous transformation. At the heart of the work emerges the theme of disguise as a practice of transmission: a way of preserving and passing on cultures\, gestures and ancestral knowledge. Between contemporary dance and Brazilian urban practices\, Puff imagines the body as a space in which memory\, identity and imagination continue to reinvent themselves.

SUMMARY:Swing Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Swing Tuesday is an evening dedicated to swing music and dancing\, where the audience gets to decide what goes on the playlist. At the entrance\, everyone receives three little fruit-shaped beads\, known as “fruttini”\, to vote for their favourite styles: Lindy Hop\, Boogie Woogie\, Blues\, Rockabilly and Shag/Balboa. The votes shape the evening’s playlist\, with more time dedicated to the most popular styles. \nFrom the Roaring Twenties to the Fabulous Fifties\, Swing Tuesday brings together different sounds and rhythms\, inviting everyone onto the dance floor\, regardless of age or experience. Whether you’ve been dancing for years or are trying it for the first time\, it’s a chance to meet\, share music and get carried away by the swing beat.

SUMMARY:Sognare\, forse dormire — a sleeping performance
DESCRIPTION:A guiding voice and a sound composition gradually lead from wakefulness into sleep\, creating the conditions to explore lucid dreaming.\nDuring the night\, music\, sounds and brief appearances by the performer and musicians move through the space discreetly\, interweaving with the sleep of those taking part. Small shifts in perception open a simple question: Am I dreaming?\nSuspended between sleep and wakefulness\, the performance transforms rest into a shared experience\, where listening\, imagination and presence become a collective practice.

SUMMARY:Sentimental2 — Armani/Silos
DESCRIPTION:Sentimental2 brings together Cristina Kristal Rizzo\, Silvia Calderoni and Annamaria Ajmone in a site-specific choreography that takes shape anew each time through its encounter with the place that hosts it. \nFor three hours\, the three performers move through the spaces of Armani/Silos\, shifting between different movements\, rhythms and qualities: at times an almost imperceptible gesture takes hold of the space and expands into it. The audience is free to move\, stop\, come and go\, building their own viewing time. \nSentimental2 opens a break in everyday time\, an invitation to slow down and look at the body\, the space and our surroundings from a different perspective. \nSentimental2 by Cristina Kristal Rizzo is part of FAROUT Live Arts Festival\, BASE Milano’s festival dedicated to contemporary creation. \nThe performance takes place within the exhibition GIORGIO ARMANI PRIVÉ 2005-2025\, Twenty Years of Haute Couture\, open to the public at Armani/Silos until 20 December 2026.

SUMMARY:Toi\, moi\, Tituba...
DESCRIPTION:Starting from the figure of Tituba — the Black woman accused of witchcraft in the Salem trials and protagonist of Maryse Condé’s novel — Dorothée Munyaneza constructs a solo that moves through memory\, body and history. Dance\, voice and music become instruments for restoring presence to those who have been erased\, reduced to silence or excluded from official narratives\, exploring the traces left by slavery and colonialism. The body transforms into a living archive\, where past and present meet in a gesture of memory\, repair and resistance.

SUMMARY:DESIRE RESIDE – Rethinking the conditions for artistic research\, from practice to policy
DESCRIPTION:Artistic research opens up room for experimentation\, produces knowledge\, and questions established languages and categories. Yet whether it can exist at all depends on material\, cultural and institutional conditions that are never neutral. \nIn a cultural system increasingly geared towards output\, measurable results and proof of impact\, what room is left for open\, non-linear processes whose value cannot be set in advance? And who actually has the chance to take part in them? \nOn 1 and 2 December\, DESIRE RESIDE returns to BASE Milano for its second edition\, bringing together artists\, curators\, researchers\, organisations and cultural institutions for an exchange that cuts across the different layers of artistic research: from the practices that produce it and the knowledge that helps define it\, to the structures\, resources and policies that allow it to develop. \nThrough keynotes\, conversations\, research practices and working sessions\, DESIRE RESIDE brings these perspectives into dialogue\, not to reach single answers but to surface shared questions\, contradictions and possibilities for action. A space where those who do research and those who build its conditions can question\, together\, how research is recognised\, supported and practised. \n\nPROGRAM DAY #1\nKnowledge\, Practices and Access \n  \n2–2:30PM | Opening\nDaydreaming as a Radical Practice\nThe opening of DESIRE RESIDE introduces DAYDREAMING\, BASE’s new cycle of programming and artist residencies for 2027. Daydreaming not as an escape from reality\, but as a critical and collective practice of imagination. Starting from one question: who has the time\, space and freedom needed to imagine alternatives to the present? A reflection on the material and social conditions of imagination\, on its transformative potential\, and on the role cultural institutions play in making it a shared possibility. \n2:30–3PM | Keynote\nSimone Frangi\nDrawing on the relationship between critical theory\, artistic practice and curatorial research\, Simone Frangi opens a reflection on art’s capacity to produce knowledge\, challenge dominant narratives and open up new perspectives on the present. A contribution that questions the critical and political dimension of artistic research and the role of experimental practices in transforming the languages of art as well as the ways knowledge is built\, shared and recognised. \n3–4PM | Panel\nWHAT COUNTS AS RESEARCH?\nArtistic Practices\, Knowledge and Curatorial Perspectives\nModerated by Simone Frangi\, with Silvia Calderoni\, Daniel Blanga Gubbay and Annalisa Sacchi. \nWhat do we recognise as artistic research? What forms of knowledge emerge from artistic practices\, and how do they relate to theoretical and curatorial thinking? Bringing together the perspectives of artists\, researchers and curators\, the panel compares different ways of understanding and practising research\, questioning the methods\, languages and criteria through which it is defined and recognised. A dialogue on the boundaries\, and the possible cross-pollinations\, between practice\, theory and curating\, exploring how these perspectives can enrich and challenge one another. \n4–4:30PM | Coffee break\n4:30–5:30PM | Practice\nRESEARCH-CREATION\nArtistic Practice as a Mode of Knowledge Production\nCurated by Lucia Di Pietro\, with Ginevra Ghiaroni and Sara Tammone. \nArtistic practice is more than an object of research: it can itself become a method of inquiry and a way of producing knowledge. Drawing on the experience of the three researchers\, who all take part in PerLa – Performance Epistemologies Research Lab at Iuav University of Venice\, the session introduces the field of research-creation\, exploring how artistic experimentation and theoretical reflection can develop within a single research process. An opportunity to question the forms of knowledge that emerge through making\, experience and experimentation\, and the specific contribution artistic practices bring to new research methodologies. \n5:30–6:30PM | Round table\nRESEARCH IS NOT NEUTRAL\nAccess\, Inequality and the Conditions of Artistic Research\nModerated by Tamsyn Dent\, with Wissal Houbabi\, Marta Bianchi / AWI and more speakers to be announced. \nThe opportunity to devote oneself to artistic research is not equally distributed. Economic conditions\, social background\, access to resources and systems of recognition all shape who can embark on a research path\, with how much autonomy and at what cost. A conversation that brings together different experiences and perspectives to question the inequalities running through artistic work: which obstacles remain invisible? Which conditions of privilege do we take for granted? And what shared responsibilities might emerge from acknowledging these differences? \nFrom 7PM | Aperitivo and FAROUT Live Arts Festival\nThe day continues with an informal gathering and FAROUT performances: another way to be together\, engage with artistic practices and share the closing of the festival. At 8.30pm\, Motus presents Io vomito Yuan. \n  \n\n  \nPROGRAM DAY #2\nInstitutions\, Infrastructures and Ecosystems \n  \n2PM | Opening keynote\nRethinking the Conditions for Artistic Research\nSpeakers to be announced. \nThe second day of DESIRE RESIDE shifts the focus from artistic practices to the organisational\, economic and political conditions that allow them to develop. A reflection on the role of cultural institutions\, on how resources are distributed\, and on the need to build tools and models that can support research beyond the logic of immediate output. \n2:30–3:30PM | Panel\nBEYOND DISCIPLINES\nResidencies as Infrastructures for Artistic Research\nWith Oana Simionescu\, Katharina Scriba\, Irene Calderoni and more speakers to be announced. \nWhat does it mean to design a residency as an infrastructure for artistic research\, rather than simply as a space for hosting or production? Drawing on the experiences of international cultural organisations\, the panel explores different approaches to building research and residency programmes: from the relationship between disciplines and languages to the ways artists are supported\, through to connections with other forms of knowledge\, contexts and communities. An exchange on the role of cultural organisations in creating conditions for experimentation\, exchange and continuity\, and on how research practices can help transform the institutional models that sustain them. \n3:30–4PM | Coffee break\n4–6PM | Writing tables\nEXERCISES IN COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION\nKnowledge\, Imagination\, Institution\nDESIRE RESIDE closes with three working sessions of collective writing\, inviting artists\, curators\, researchers and cultural practitioners to turn the questions raised over the two days into exercises in shared imagination. Knowledge\, Imagination and Institution are three perspectives from which to question the conditions of artistic research: what forms of knowledge does it produce\, and who recognises them? What futures can we imagine beyond the constraints of what already exists? What institutions and infrastructures do we need to make them possible? \nThe sessions invite participants to experiment with writing as a practice of research and collective imagination. The reflections and materials produced will become part of DESIRE RESIDE’s editorial project\, giving continuity to the questions and possibilities opened up during the event. \nFrom 6PM | Aperitivo and FAROUT Live Arts Festival\nClosing the gathering\, closing the festival. At 7PM\, Motus with Io vomito Yuan and then at 9PM\, Lucia Di Pietro with KaraOCHE. \n  \n\n  \nWho’s missing? Bring one more voice\nYou read the programme and someone who should be there came to your mind? An artist\, a space\, a collective\, an organisation we don’t know\, yet. Invite them! DESIRE RESIDE is also about bringing together people who don’t meet often enough. Write to → residenze@base.milano.it \n

SUMMARY:YO VOMITO YUAN
DESCRIPTION:IO VOMITO YUAN is born from the homonymous book written by Yuan Hu as a Master’s thesis. Between narrative writing and critical reflection\, the text moves through politics\, science fiction\, philosophy and questions of gender in a fragmented and visionary language that resists all classification. \nThe performance transforms this writing into voice and body\, questioning the condition of the contemporary artist and the experience of living and creating in a foreign country\, where identity\, belonging and language are continuously redefined.\nBetween confession\, invective and imagination\, IO VOMITO YUAN reflects on the contradictions of the art system and its institutions\, calling into question the mechanisms that produce visibility\, exclusion and power.

SUMMARY:KaraOCHE
DESCRIPTION:The performance blends the atmosphere of a karaoke bar with surreal elements\, creating a space suspended between reality and fiction\, where animal stories\, human tragedies\, and existential questions intertwine. Through singing\, dancing\, and spoken word\, karaoke becomes a place where unauthorized\, eccentric\, and marginalized voices find legitimacy and space to speak.
