Twice a week we open a little wooden house, to do homework and learn things from our creativity. It is a horizontal space that is envisioned with the aim of supporting some of the families who suffered the flood in the spring of 2023, and which already normally suffers marginalization.
Building communities at a slow pace, starting from imagination and the desire to be together.
The first edition of the Lungomare #qualcosanonva project is developed in collaboration with Kunst Meran Merano Arte and the Summer School Südtirol. The poster series reflects on the background of violence against women in society and highlights the issue of femicide from an artistic and activist perspective.
In this first edition, five tandems of artists, designers and authors create a campaign of posters against violence against women to be disseminated in public and everyday spaces to subvert narratives perceived as normal, start discussions and reflections.
With Edoardo Massa, Eleonore Khuen-Belasi, Gülbin Ünlü, Ingrid Hora, Maxi Obexer, Rosalyn D'Mello, Senthuran Varatharajah, Sophie Utikal, Teresa Sdralevich and Wissal Houbabi.

IOO Ways to Say We is an online platform, a pre-enactment of multiple future visions, a speculative-utopian take on the possibilities of the concept of “We”. Artists, theorists, and activists from around the planet share diverse ways of living together – from the perspective of an imagined future: a map of voices, stories, and opinions that revolve around the idea of a diverse, contradictory, and ambitious “We”, which eventually creates an Archive of the Future.
The project started with the initial questions evolving around recent observations on newly emerging and strengthened “We-“Identities as its starting point:
Who is “We”? Who says “We” on behalf of whom? Who has the right to do that? Who is excluded, and who defines who is heard?
\ To say “We”, to build a “We”, seems to be a political action. But what is the common ground for this “We”, what are the foundations of the/our “We”-Identities? To say “We” in the name of a will, a community, a cause, has both exclusionary and inclusionary effects. “We” mobilizes and organizes. To say “We” can empower some while demonizing others. Is there a universal “We”? Or is this idea of a “We” rather an illusion, a construct, and it has never been about “We, the people” – including everyone - but always about the differences and particularisms of the various “We”-Identities?
Perhaps there are reasons to distrust any “We”, to call attention to differences and to point out privileges and hierarchies. But there is also the danger of fragmentation: For decades neoliberalism has been separating society into individuals and has undermined collectivity. Is this perhaps the right time to challenge the necessity of a new “We” – a transversal collective will in which a multitude of demands can come together and create new imaginaries for our future?
Artists, theorists, and activists from around the planet were commissioned to share their views, hopes, reflections, utopias from a chosen point of time and place. IOO Ways to Say We – An Archive of the Future holds different takes on the potentials and pitfalls of the idea of “We”. In the coming weeks, the archive will continue to grow.
