Beyond Binaries – Residences for participatory and transfeminist art arises from the desire to investigate issues related to identity and gender dynamics, in relation to the Torpignattara district, the metropolitan area of Rome where historically, migratory trajectories and different communities have sedimented.
All the involved artists explore, with different languages and practices, various themes that have emerged from the exchange with the people who inhabit and traverse the territory. Mara Oscar Cassiani gives a renewed look to her project Nuovo Habitat, aspiring to build new cultural forms in opposition to gender stereotypes, drawing on gaming culture. For Beyond Binaries, a video installation with site-specific elements related to the performance that took place on July 1st at the Casilino Sky Park terrace will be exhibited. Politics of Walking is an affective map of the neighbourhood created by Call Monica — composed of Barbara Bordoni, Est Coulon, Gaia Ginevra Giorgi, Alessandra Grieco, and Theresa Maria Schlichtherle — a collective of performers that investigates the patriarchal gaze as a cultural construction and a vector of power.
