Making its debut this October, Weaving Dialogues is the public programme of Time Space Existence 2025, designed as a platform to enrich ECC Italy’s biennial architecture exhibition as a space for exchange and reflection. Extending the exhibition’s themes into wider conversations, it brings together voices from the show to engage with this year’s recurring topics: Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse. The inaugural edition of Weaving Dialogues will take place on 9 and 10 October in the iconic venue of Palazzo Michiel in the heart of Venice.

Over two days, the sessions will spotlight themes including green construction, nature-based solutions, public space, and community regeneration. These dialogues aim to foster networking, broaden perspectives, and showcase diverse architecture and urban planning projects from around the world. By connecting practitioners, researchers, and the public, Weaving Dialogues extends the exhibition beyond its displays, strengthening collective awareness and inspiring collaborative futures.

The talks and screening presented in Weaving Dialogues are free to attend upon registration on Eventbrite.

The two day event will also be available online at the following link.
