as part of Fabbrica Europa 2024

I move from the need to break away from normativity, to drag the hegemonic towards the margins.
Because it is time to collectivize in our pain and in our rage, to stop questioning our identities and start questioning what surrounds us; to use the body convincingly as a tool of expression, and not just of execution; to forget neutrality and operate from empathy; to abandon the idea of equality and visualize a huge embrace of our differences, which, however, do not become a reason for discrimination.
That’s why I contemplate myself. That’s why I question myself.
That’s why, La Revisión.
