Melissa McGill is an artist, activist, and water storyteller known for collaborative, ambitious site-specific public art projects. Melissa will talk about her projects that explore nuanced conversations between land, water, sustainable traditions, and the interconnectedness of all living beings.

Red Regatta was an independent public art project created by artist Melissa McGill that activated Venice’s lagoon and canals with four large-scale regattas of traditional vela al terzo sailboats hoisted with hand-painted red sails in 2019. Presented in collaboration with Associazione Vela al Terzo, curated by Chiara Spangaro, with project manager Marcella Ferrari, the project was co-organized by Magazzino Italian Art, with support from Mazzoleni.
