Description

This project is China's first multidisciplinary residency and co‑creation program dedicated to the intersection of art, technology, music, and other cross‑disciplinary fields. Under the theme Pre / Sense, we invite new media artists, electronic musicians, and cross‑disciplinary creators from around the world to gather on this industrial site—shaped by Bauhaus architecture, exposed steam pipes, and steel trusses—to explore those facets of reality that have not yet been captured by language or absorbed into systems of knowledge. Between order and chaos, the known and the unknown, the visible and the invisible, we aim to rediscover dimensions of the world that have not yet unfolded.

Description

LIMEN is organized in partnership with Berlin Film Community, an association of over 30,000 members dedicated to supporting independent filmmaking and visual arts practice. LIMEN was co-founded by Linda Paganelli and Adriano Lostia — both long-standing members and co-founders of Berlin Film Community — bringing together Paganelli's background in visual anthropology and decolonial, queer-feminist filmmaking with Lostia's work spanning documentary film, humanitarian project management, and grassroots organizing.

Based at Casa M, a restored manor house in the medieval village of Siddi, Sardinia, LIMEN operates as a small, independently run residency — this is its inaugural edition, launching October 2026, with a long-term intention to continue as an annual program supporting artists working at the intersection of memory, land, and political and queer inquiry.
